Low cost airlines already use e-tickets as does Kenya Airways, America West, South African Airways and Icelandair among others.

Jason Clarke, regional marketing manager for the GDS�s parent Cendant TDS in the UK and Ireland, was quoted as saying: �With nearly 90% of bookings being e-ticketable via Galileo, paper tickets are now almost a thing of the past. This not only means greater efficiency when making or amending bookings but also brings financial savings.�

Agents admit that as paper tickets cost around �5 each to produce, e-ticketing represents a huge financial saving. As for consumers, they no longer have to worry about tickets arriving in time in the post or even about losing them as e-tickets can just be printed from their pc.
