Satellite Ticket Printing From Amadeus

Amadeus India has announced the roll-out of the Amadeus STP (Satellite Ticket Printing) for Jet Airways at all ITC Sheraton hotel properties in the country.

International Travel House (ITH) will leverage STP technology for issuing tickets through its 15-implant offices at ITC Sheraton hotel properties across the country.

STP is a state-of-the-art technology, which enables a travel agent to electronically deliver a ticket at the customer location. As a starting point, the travel agency implant is required to create the bookings and queue the same to the central travel agency location servicing the corporate. Thereafter, the travel agent fires the ticketing commands from the agency location and the tickets get printed at the implant office right at the customer location. It may be noted that Amadeus piloted Jet STP with ITH for two corporates, namely Infosys in Bangalore and Siemens in Mumbai for four weeks. This solution would be available for all corporates.

Ankur Bhatia, managing director, Amadeus Indian Subcontinent said, “At Amadeus, we believe in constantly raising the bar in terms of offering innovative travel solutions that provide invincible value to the travel fraternity. We have not only provided but extended this technology to the hospitality trade as well. The Amadeus STP technology is the latest deliverable in this direction, which will redefine the ticket issuing and delivery process by introducing new levels of simplicity and cost-effectiveness for the travel agents, especially those working at corporate locations.”

Speaking on the partnership with Amadeus, Anil Bhandari, chairman, International Travel House, said, “Our partnership with Amadeus to deliver STP technology, underlines our commitment to offer state-of-the-art leading technology solutions that provide an unmatchable experience to the end traveller. We are confident that the STP technology will help us in not only streamlining our operations but also strengthen our corporate client relationships.”

For travel agent implants working at corporate locations, Amadeus STP delivers a flexible and cost-effective way to print itineraries, invoices, boarding passes and tickets with split coupon distribution – all with just a mouse click. The highest levels of security are built in to Amadeus STP: all data exchanged between the remote user and the Amadeus System via STP is doubly secured by encryption and digital certificate based authentication.
