What is an IATA and Non-IATA? | What is the Difference between IATA and Non-IATA Travel Agents?

 

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is an association of airlines around the globe. The IATA mission comprises 3 stages. The first stage is the representation of the airline industry, 2nd is to lead the airline industry and 3rd one is to serve the airline industry to the best possible extent. 

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) software is worldwide trade association software that supports almost 290 airlines around the world which also includes world numbers.

IATA provides the airline industry with standardized software free from flaws and it adds a global factor in the airline industry. Many travel software developing agencies around the globe take it as the standard for their services. Although non-IATA software is also present in the market it is quite reputed now in the global market as more than 290 airlines use the International Air Transport Association (IATA) software and its established standards.

As the name suggests, non-IATA/independent travel agents are agents who are not accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). IATA is considered to be one of the most basic resources for a travel agent because most airline bookings are done through the IATA portal.

In order to book from IATA, the travel agent must get registered with IATA as an IATA travel agent. However, it is also possible to buy and sell tickets without getting affiliated with IATA. All travel agents who do so are known as non-IATA/independent travel agents. These agents either purchase tickets from other IATA travel agencies or from the airline. 

Non-IATA travel agents have had a major impact on the travel business, and their numbers have constantly grown over the years. In the traditional sense, a non-IATA travel agency basically functions by collecting orders, sending the booking to IATA travel agencies, and forwarding the booked tickets to the customer.

However, traditional methods are now giving way to modern-day technologies and one can make use of innovations in the non-IATA/independent travel agents market as well. With the increase in the number of non-IATA travel agents around the world, consolidators/host agencies and larger travel agencies are placing a lot of stress on getting more and more non-IATA travel agents under their umbrella.

Modern technological solutions also allow travel agents to build their business from the ground up. They can leverage basic operations, integrate ticket issuing systems, enjoy an excellent operational flow and boost their productivity. One solution that allows non-IATA/independent travel agents with such possibilities is TripFro.

IATA is basically a trade association of airlines around the world with 290 airlines from 117 countries. These numbers would give you a basic idea of how important an IATA certification is if your online travel agency provides flight booking services.

 

Why Do Travel Agents Need IATA?

 

what-is-the-difference-between-iata-and-non-iata

 

A travel agency that has an IATA accreditation is recognized worldwide as a professional agency. The IATA certification helps build credibility amongst customers. It also boosts the revenue of your travel business significantly and builds a strong link between airlines and travel agents. IATA certification benefits travel agents in multiple ways:

 

How Non IATA Travel Agents Can Provide A Flight Reservation System On Their Website?

 

Do you want to develop your own OTA (Online Travel Agency)? But do not have IATA accreditation for providing flight search and bookings to your customers and sub-agents.

Most travelers look for a one-stop-shop to manage all their travel bookings starting from flight bookings, hotel reservations to visa, insurance, and everything, that is why enabling flight search and bookings have become important for every Non-IATA agent also. Huge commissions are generated when they sell all the travel services to an agent or customer in one go.

 

There are different methods through which you can enable flight search and bookings to your travel agency website.

 

Meta Search Engine

 

Develop a Meta-search engine where you can integrate multiple XMLs from various providers. End-users can compare and then purchase at the portal of the lowest provider. Searching for flights or hotels would give you a list of results that source the availability of flights and their fares from various other travel sites like Kayak and show you the best fare on that route. The sites that would be displayed there should be having a license to operate and source info from the airlines directly. The APIs of Kayak, Hotels Combined, etc. are available to develop your own Meta search engine.

 

Flight API Integration

 

You can develop your own flight reservation system in your internet booking engine (IBE) by integrating APIs from different flight suppliers (Non-GDS) company like Agoda, who does not require IATA accreditation for providing their contents

 

White Label Solution

 

White label refers to a product or service that is purchased by a reseller who rebrands the product or service to give the impression that the new owner created it. White label products are often produced via mass production.

In the travel industry white label is provided by companies like Expedia to increase their sales through travel agents who want to provide flight search and bookings as an added feature to their customers and increase the branding.
