Smarter Flight Plans With Intelligent Ticketing Switch

TA Connections knows that the goal of any airline is getting people to their final destination. Fast.  So when current flight options can’t support that, you need ways to book a crew member or reticket disrupted passengers on another airline’s flight. That’s why we developed a new, integrated technology offering for our aviation customers: our state-of-the-art Intelligent Ticketing Switch. 

Meet the Intelligent Ticketing Switch, an aggregate airline ticketing platform that’s available within the TA Disruption Hub and the TA Crew Hub. This new technology connects seamlessly to a global network of flight inventory- from  GDS, NDC, private inventory, and alternative airline reservation systems via a single platform, offering crew members and disrupted travelers automated and “smart” ticketing. 

The Intelligent Ticketing Switch is directly integrated into the TA Connections solutions, leveraging advanced technology methodologies and tightly coupled to the TA Disruption Hub and TA Crew Hub rules and logic engines. The solution gives airlines unparalleled access to inventory, configurable compliancy and policies, automated pricing and fare optimization, and fully digital ticketing experiences for global crew and passenger needs. Best of all, you get to input your organization’s specific guidelines, so you can be sure you’re compliant with government regulations and company policies. With Intelligent Ticketing Switch, you remain in control.

When the Intelligent Ticketing Switch Matters

If passengers are disrupted or crews need to be sent to another city, airlines can view global inventory from all supply channels. They then can rebook on any flight to get the traveler to their final destination at the right time. With the Intelligent Ticketing Switch, airlines also have access to more inventory at lower price points through automated pricing and fare optimization, so crews and passengers are rebooked faster and at a lower rate.   

Take a look at the benefits of the Intelligent Ticketing Switch for disrupted crews and passengers using the TA Crew Hub and TA Disruption Hub.
