Advertorial Industry Leader Profile


Helping the industry respond to challenges


Air travel has never been as accessible it is today, yet the challenges facing the air travel industry have never been so demanding. Ever increasing fuel prices, stringent credit controls and tougher competition mean airlines are unable to respond quickly and efficiently to new business requirements.


Increasing demands from border control agencies are introducing more stringent


traveller


management processes just at a time when the industry can least afford it. By working in partner - ship with governments, airlines and application vendors ARINC is able to offer solutions to mitigate the risks, reduce airline costs and enable a fast response to ever changing government legislation.


API Advance Passenger Informat ion (API ) is being


requested by more and more count r ies, and increasingly for the country of origin as well as the dest inat ion. Whi le the t ravel ler data requi red by di f ferent agencies is mainly the same, there are however subtle variations in the UN/EDIFACT message composi t ion which frequent ly require modi f icat ions to depar ture control systems. This impinges on airlines’ ability deliver API to all border control agencies in the most cost-ef fective manner.


However, by using ARINC services airlines will be


able to send a single message to the destination country wi th al l the necessary traveller information. In fact, ARINC will even copy and


transform the message for transmission to the country of origin if required!


Messaging Performance Looking towards interactive API systems such as APIS


Quick Query (AQQ), and interactive Advance Passenger Information (iAPI) messaging performance is paramount. Without high performance and reliable messaging passenger handling will not be achieved within existing check-in and boarding process service levels. The ef fect would be inevitable delays in boarding, departure and unhappy passengers. Passenger dissatisfaction not only impacts on airlines themselves but on airpor ts, and may ultimately lead to travellers avoiding particular airports and countries.


Benefits for governments and


airlines By connecting to ARINC, border control agencies can receive this critical API data from any airline using ARINC’s fast, robust and secure air travel industry messaging service. And by doing so governments actually minimise the impact on airlines that service their national travel and tourism industries.


Both governments and airlines benefit from the


powerful mediation capabilities of ARINC’s services, simplifying implementation and ensuring delivery traveller intelligence is does not encumber either with unnecessary costs.
