Manila's dominant air carrier Philippine Airlines has completed the full implementation of electronic ticketing service for all of its flights. It did so seven months ahead of the deadline set by the International Air Transport Association of December 31 this year.

Insiders say member-airlines of the IATA process some 300 million-paper tickets per year. That was costing at least $10 to process. However, an e-ticket costs only $1 to process.

PAL said it completed e-ticketing coverage for its 18 domestic stations on June 24, 2006. E-ticketing coverage for its 24 international outlets was completed on May 17, 2007.
