e-ticketing to be enabled by May 31: Air India

Mumbai: National air-carrier Air India is close to becoming 100 per cent e-ticket enabled with only a few minor technological issues remaining to be sorted out, a senior airline official said.
"It is incorrect to say that Air India is not e-ticketing enabled. Only a few minor issues now need to be resolved," an Air India spokesperson told PTI here on Friday.
The national air-carrier was working on these issues and was confident of attaining 100 per cent e-ticketing before the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) deadline of May 31, the official said.
Earlier in the day, Travel Agents Association of India (TAAI) President C Venkateshwara Prasad told reporters that Air India was not yet 100 per cent e-ticketing-enabled and sought deferment of the deadline on the ground that the national air-carrier was yet to get thus enabled.
IATA has set June 1 as the deadline for withdrawal of paper tickets, which means that it will process 100 per cent e-tickets from that date onwards.
