SriLankan e-tickets now available via travel agents
SriLankan Airlines has extended its Electronic
ticketing (E-ticket) facility for tickets purchased through most
travel agents, increasing the level of convenience for passengers
who no longer need to carry traditional paper tickets.
A simple printout of the booking combined with
a valid passport is all passengers need to present at the airport.
Payment can be made by credit card and travel agents can send the
printout via e-mail or fax, which saves customers a trip to the
travel agency, the airline said.
“The facility was already available for
tickets obtained from SriLankan Airlines’ ticket offices or
our website www.srilankan.aero and now we have extended it to those
who prefer to purchase tickets from their travel agents,”
said Kapila Bandara, SriLankan’s E-Commerce Manager. “With
an E-ticket it is also impossible to lose or damage one’s
ticket, since a new printout can be easily obtained from any computer
or fax machine” he added.
E-ticketing through travel agents was launched
last month after trials between SriLankan Airlines, selected travel
agents, and their reservation system suppliers named Galileo, Amadeus
and Abacus.
