For decades, travel agencies have used an IATA number to prove their legitimacy and facilitate various types of bookings around the world. But what exactly is the relationship between an IATA number and travel advisors? Below, we break down everything you need to know, including how to obtain access to an IATA number if you’re learning how to become a travel agent .

First, what does IATA stand for?

As a prospective travel agent (a.k.a. travel advisor), you might assume IATA translates to something along the lines of the “International Association of Travel Agencies.” But the acronym actually stands for International Air Transport Association. 

What’s an IATA number then? What’s it used for?

In short, an IATA number is a unique identification number used by travel agents and agencies that proves legitimacy as a business, and essentially makes it possible for them to earn money by booking travel.

There are variations, but most IATA numbers are made up of a unique, seven-digit combination. Originally, these numbers were exclusively used to verify air ticket distributors. This allowed early travel agencies to sell tickets on behalf of airlines. 

Over time, IATA numbers’ use grew. As hotel chains and other suppliers began expanding and adopting global distribution systems (GDS) to streamline bookings, it made more sense to use an existing identifier that was already strongly associated with the travel industry than to create an entirely new ID. Thus, the IATA number was adopted as the global standard for recognizing who booked what. 

In other words, the use of IATA numbers has facilitated standardization within the travel industry, enabling smoother transactions and better tracking of bookings across different platforms and systems. It’s used widely within the travel industry for various purposes, including booking and ticketing, to identify travel agencies in transactions, and to enable agencies to work with airlines and other travel service providers. It's an important part of the infrastructure that supports global air travel and the wider travel industry.

IATA numbers ensure legitimacy

There’s a lengthy verification process to obtain an IATA number. This process ensures that a hotel can trust that a travel agent booking is legitimate.

IATA numbers are not the same as IATA codes

If this is your first foray into the travel industry, you may be more familiar with IATA’s work than you realize. IATA codes — those three-letter tags attached to nearly every airport in the world, like LAX for Los Angeles International Airport or LGA for LaGuardia Airport in NYC — have long been the global standard for airport identification. 

Nevertheless, while IATA codes and IATA numbers are issued by the same organization, they have different uses.

Who uses an IATA number? Do you need one for your travel business?

Many jobs in the travel industry are associated with IATA numbers, as are tour operators, consolidators (including online travel agencies ), airlines, freight companies, hotels, rental car agencies and other travel industry suppliers. 

If you are a travel advisor, it’s best practice to have an IATA number to make bookings for clients. Again, the ID is part of the legal framework for proper legitimacy, tracking and payments. If you opt to work with a host agency like Fora, an IATA number will be provided to you.

Ultimately, having an IATA number is critical to be successful in the industry. Nearly all hotel groups, cruise lines, rental car companies and many other industry suppliers require an IATA number to disperse commission. 

When did travel agents start using IATA numbers?

iata cargo agent travel agency

The widespread adoption of IATA numbers as a standard, global system by travel agencies began in the late 1950s, just as the travel industry was experiencing rapid growth. 

However, the relationship between IATA and travel agencies goes back a little further. When the airline industry was taking off in the 1920s, it used travel agencies as intermediaries between travelers and the airlines, mostly to distribute tickets. This system worked, but it lacked standardization and required an airline to vet a travel agency repeatedly to ensure smooth financial transactions. 

When IATA launched in 1945, the organization quickly filled a needed role to act as a middleman between the airlines and travel agencies. Critically, airlines no longer needed to constantly reevaluate a given agency if it was IATA accredited. Since then, IATA accreditation has remained the golden standard for airlines — and now other travel companies — to determine if a travel agency is a reliable partner.

Can an independent travel agent / advisor use a host agency’s IATA number?

Absolutely. In fact, this is generally one of the most attractive prospects for working with a travel agent host agency. Obtaining an IATA number as an individual agent is fairly difficult and time-consuming. But working with an accredited host agency is generally the preferred path because your host agency covers the legal framework behind getting an IATA number. This means that as a travel advisor, you can focus more on the core projects related to your role (planning and booking travel).

4 benefits of having an IATA number

iata cargo agent travel agency

Here’s a recap of the benefits of having an IATA number.

1. Proves an agency’s qualifications & credibility

First and perhaps most importantly, an IATA number guarantees that a travel agency has been evaluated as a reliable partner for industry suppliers. Without this ID, suppliers — including hotels, cruises and so on — have zero reason to recognize a travel agency’s bookings and are not bound to offer a commission for the agency’s services.

2. Allows an agency to access global booking systems

Beyond establishing an agency’s credibility, an IATA number also grants access to global distribution systems (hotel reservation platforms). If your agency lacks an IATA number, you won’t be able to access these systems to make bookings for clients. 

At Fora, you’ll be able to see all of these rates directly in our booking platform . 

3. Ensures easy dispersal of commissions

Like any form of ID, an IATA number makes the process of paying commissions much smoother. It tells a supplier exactly whom should be paid for making a reservation. 

(P.S. If you’re curious about how travel agent commissions work, check out our guide.)

4. Proves industry regulator compliance

There’s a lot of legal work that goes into obtaining and keeping an IATA number. IATA numbers can be stripped from agencies that work outside of the confines of internationally recognized policies (this ensures the ability to protect a client’s data or secure financial transactions). Working with a host agency that has one means that you’re aligned with an organization that abides by industry protocol.

Of course, each host agency has its own policies, pros and cons, so there is more to consider beyond IATA accreditation.

More IATA number FAQs

iata cargo agent travel agency

Have more questions about IATA numbers and travel agencies? Here are a few FAQ answers.

Recap: do you absolutely need an IATA number to be a travel agent?

To truly maximize your travel business, it is indeed important to have access to an IATA number — whether as an individual agent or through a partnership with a host agency. Otherwise, your travel business will largely be limited to planning itineraries (without bookings). That’s a huge disadvantage, as potential clients will likely seek out travel agents who can plan and book their trips. 

How do you get your own IATA number?

When you work with a host agency, you will have access to their IATA number. This is the path that most independent travel advisors take. At Fora, we provide you with access to our IATA number. 

If you want your own IATA number, you’ll have to apply and prove financial stability, professional competence and the ability to adhere to industry standards. It’s worth noting that it is a very time-intensive process and most independent travel advisors do not take this route.

Are there alternatives to IATA numbers / accreditation?

Technically, yes. But in practice, not really. While other systems exist, they tend to be regional or less widely recognized. Whether you’re looking to book global or domestic travel only, having an IATA number is ideal.

Are there any potential challenges to obtaining an IATA number?

As an independent travel advisor, not particularly. It basically comes down to whether you’re able to find a viable host agency to work with, such as Fora.

As a host agency, it is a time-intensive and paperwork-heavy process. Host agencies apply, and have to prove legitimacy. Potential challenges include financial instability, a lack of operational infrastructure, an inability to comply with industry standards or a failed background check at the agency management level.

How to Get IATA Accreditation for Travel Business: Options, Steps, IATA Certification Cost

Every industry has its own regulator – an authority that sets standards and improves cooperation inside. The air travel industry is no exception.

IATA stands for International Air Transport Association . Its main goal is to regulate distribution-related activities for airlines and commercial aviation. These activities include fare calculations, revenue allocation, and baggage rules.

But how are IATA and travel agencies connected? Why do travel businesses that issue airline tickets have to be IATA-accredited? What are the options for businesses of different sizes and how is IATA-accreditation accomplished? Let’s explore the possibilities.

What is IATA? IATA numbers for travel agencies

Today, IATA decides who should distribute air travel products and how they should go about it. It supervises travel businesses by suggesting standards. For instance, IATA codes (numbers) are used everywhere traveling and aviation intersect. Think airline designator codes for reservations, ticketing, scheduling, and documentation; a prefix code to classify passengers and cargo; a baggage tag issuer code to simplify baggage handling; and a location code for easier package handling. These codes are even relevant to those airlines that haven’t signed an agreement with IATA.

Back in the 1920s when the mushrooming travel agencies started distributing flight tickets, they acted as clearinghouses or a middleman between travelers and airlines. In addition to spreading vouchers, travel agencies were responsible for smooth money transactions. When IATA emerged in 1945, it took over these processes and became a mediator between travel agencies and airlines.

That is how IATA accreditation (sometimes referred to as IATA certification) was introduced. It exists to safeguard airlines and monitor the revenue flow. So, in order to get access to airline inventories, a travel agency is supposed to undergo verification by IATA. In this case, an airline won’t have to check an agency over again every time an agent connects to the carrier’s reservation system. If a distributor is IATA-accredited, it’s a reliable partner.

On top of that, IATA processes all sales reports between an airline and an agency through its Billing and Settlement Plan ( BSP ) – a system created to streamline selling, reporting, and transferring operations for IATA-accredited agents.

If you want to do a deeper dive into IATA’s history and how it works today, watch our video.

What is IATA and how does it work?

What IATA certification can give travel businesses?

That said, let’s outline the main benefits that IATA gives its accredited agents.

Airline ticketing

Being IATA-certified, travel agencies can issue airline tickets on behalf of airlines. This is the main advantage that eliminates the need for other middlemen, simplifies booking processes, and cuts expenses for both agents and airlines. With access to IATA’s billing systems — the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) and the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) — the accredited agents can complete the booking process by accepting payments and issuing tickets, which are basically contracts confirming payment settlement.

Industry recognition

IATA-certified agents must commit to industry ethics codes and meet general industry procedure standards. Working as an IATA agent also means including the IATA logo and branding on travel agents’ premises and websites. All these factors combined enhance travel businesses’ public image and give it a high-reliability score.

Credibility

As we mentioned, IATA thoroughly verifies a travel agency’s business activity, its revenues, and the annual flow of customers. Once in possession of that stamp of approval, a business is no longer examined by an airline or a hotel chain supplier. Hence, suppliers and agents can communicate directly. This significantly simplifies booking, confirmation, and payment processing procedures and eliminates extra effort for both sides.

Access to financial control

The access to almost 300 airlines opens up a gateway to a wide range of options to choose from. The Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) enables agents to see the air flight distribution in real-time. Above that, with a discount on each ticket sold, every IATA-accredited agent can handle their own markup, earn a reasonable commission, or sell tickets on special conditions, attracting even more customers.

Now let’s find out which accreditation options are available for travel agencies of different types and sizes, and even for self-employed agents.

iata accreditation options

Full IATA accreditation

The full IATA accreditation package is for travel businesses worldwide that support airline ticket issuing on behalf of suppliers. Additionally, the IATA agent number introduces the travel business to other IATA airline members with a single Sales Agency Agreement and provides access to IATA’s BSP. As we touched on earlier, BSP is an invoicing and payment interface between the agent, airlines, and transportation suppliers.

The full accreditation also means that the agent follows standard ethics and behavior codes.

There are three types of full IATA accreditation:

  • GoLite — a more limited model for agents with no cash transaction (only using IATA EasyPay and cards), offering a simplified accreditation process with minimal financial requirements,
  • GoStandard – a default type that gives access to all payment methods, and
  • GoGlobal — a multi-country accreditation model for agencies present in several BSPs that requires such agencies to comply with a single international set of requirements and criteria and accredit all the locations under a single agreement.

iata cargo agent travel agency

Full IATA accreditation types

To get it, you must submit a stack of documents and jump through a few hoops. Let’s have a look.

  • Learn about the basics. Read through the Travel Agent Handbook (TAH) . It’s a thoughtful guide for IATA members and applicants. Here you’ll discover general standards, rules, and regulations applicable worldwide. Also, examine the local criteria adjusted to each country individually.

To apply for an IATA number, prepare these documents in the following order :

  • Proof of general business operations. If you’re a branch operator, the documents should include hours of dedicated services or a copy of the agreement to serve as such. For instance, you may attach records about offering a particular kind of tour. The same works for solo operators.
  • Proof of your qualifications. Regardless of whether you have multiple agents or you are a solo operator, you must submit a business license or copies of any certifications, such as agent training courses. Here you must indicate that your agents meet the professional criteria, according to local business standards.
  • Confirmation of prior travel agent experience. If you’ve previously collaborated with an IATA accredited agent or airline, then include this record in your documents. If possible, attach a recommendation letter from that company or documentation of employment. Documents indicating a basic knowledge of airline and ticketing operations may be also attached.
  • Proof of financial viability. Attach copies of all of the travel-business-related bank transactions for the past year. Include loan or insurance documentation if you have any. All these records should be placed in chronological order. Detailed bank account records with deposits and withdrawals for the previous fiscal year are also required.

Please note that all documents should fall in line with local criteria for your country as stated in the TAH.

2. Be ready to obtain a bond. If your accounts show that your present assets are below your liabilities, you may be required to present a financial security/bank guarantee to insure your financial credibility (the amount varies for different countries). If you choose the GoLite model with no cash facilities, there are no risks related to cash operations, so you’ll only have to provide minimal financial security to cover credit card sales risk.

3. Register an EasyPay account (optional) . IATA Easy Pay is a voluntary payment method based on the pay-as-you-go e-wallet concept for faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions. Open an EasyPay account via the IATA customer portal and register your bank account.

4. Register at the Customer Support Portal. Use the registration page and proceed with the registration process. You must submit the personal contact information and set up a password.

5. Submit the IATA application form. Complete the application following the guidelines and submit it with other documents via the Customer Portal. Include the letters of recommendation, following the form instructions.

6. Pay the registration fee and wait.  Accreditation and registration fees depend on your accreditation type and will be 250 CHF (~$280) to 1500 CHF (~$1,700) and 2500 CHF (~$2,800). There’s also an annual fee that will be based on your gross annual sales through the BSP. Find the whole distribution of fees in Attachment B of Resolution 800 .

Travel industry designator services (TIDS) – booking without flight ticketing

This option is suggested to travel sales intermediaries such as travel meeting planners or travel agencies that don’t plan on doing airline ticketing. Travel Industry Designator Service (TIDS) is an individual code that enables reservations to be recognized by airlines, cruise lines, hotel chains, car-rental companies, railway suppliers, and other travel suppliers. TIDS accelerates reservation processing and makes your travel business visible via addition to all IATA Global Data Products. However, to complete the ticketing process, the TIDS-certified agency would have to partner with a mediator such as a consolidator or host agency . Read on to learn more about these alternative options or check our article dedicated to the booking and ticketing process for non-IATA agencies .

The appliance for TIDS also requires a set of documents and a series of steps.

  • Prepare a government-issued license for travel agents (where relevant) or a copy of business registration.
  • Provide evidence of a bank account in the name of the company.
  • Present National Travel Agent Association proof of membership if you already have it.
  • If you’re not a member of the National Travel Agent Association , submit one of the following recommendation records:
  • a letter of recommendation from an IATA Airline or Global Distribution System (GDS) or
  • two letters of recommendation from travel and tourism industry suppliers such as hotel chains, car rental companies, or other entertainment industry representatives.

The letters should be provided on the recommending party’s letterhead. If needed, refer to a recommendation letter sample . To check on whether you have all that is required, you can consult with application requirements.

5. Register at the customer support portal. Use the registration page to submit personal contact information and set up a password.

6. Submit the TIDS application form and wait. Complete the TIDS Application form and submit it with documents via the customer portal, including the letters of recommendation, following the instructions in the form. Since the TIDS is free of charge after September 2020, you don’t pay any fee and just have to wait for your TIDS Code.

You can also check the TIDS FAQ page for more details on the application process.

IATAN – full package for US-based travel businesses only

IATAN stands for International Airlines Travel Agent Network. Basically, it’s identical to what IATA provides, but it’s used for US-based travel businesses only. It enables any travel business or representative to issue flight tickets. The difference is only about the US-based location of the travel business and a predefined set of documents. IATAN works for any US travel business with over 2 years of experience.

To apply for an IATAN number, check the following documents and procedures:

  • Provide ARC (Airline Reporting Corporation) Approval. In the USA, all payment transactions from ticketing are processed via ARC (check how to get the ARC accreditation here). Basically, its function is similar to IATA’s BSP.
  • Provide proof of a Current Business License. It should show the legal name of the entity and say that the business is “active” or “in good standing” with the state, county, or city.
  • Submit proof of Ownership and Legal Form of Business Corporation. Please note that different forms of ownership require different business licenses and agreements. For more detailed information, you may check the accreditation package (it’s a direct downloadable link).
  • Include proof of Seller of Travel Registration for states of California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, and Washington.
  • Provide Proof of two years of experience for QMP/QTA (Managerial Qualifier and Ticketing Qualifier). Here, the documented evidence of your travel activity experience is required. These may include letters of recommendation from your previous employers or partners, travel industry suppliers, or certifications indicating you are a travel industry expert.

To check out a complete list of valid documents and certifications, please refer to the IATAN requirements webpage or the Requirement Section of the Accreditation Kit.

6. Download the Application Kit. Visit the IATAN Accreditation Page and download a package of documents that you are required to fill in and submit.

7. Submit the documents. Once you’ve filled in and notarized all the documents and added them to business activities proofs, submit all of them directly to IATAN submission email.

8. Pay registration fees online and wait. Once all application documents are received and processed by IATAN, you will get instructions on registration fees by email. IATAN accreditation costs $247 for a head office or branch and $410 for a corporate travel department. Annual service fees are $103 and $184 respectively. The average period of application consideration is 30 days.

IATAN Non-ticketing accreditation

IATAN non-ticketing is the most suitable option for any US-based travel agency including home-based, storefront, meeting-planner entity, or corporate travel department. It requires over two years of experience in the industry. Basically, the opportunities are similar to what TIDS provides, meaning that you won’t be able to issue tickets on behalf of an airline but will still get access to their inventory.

To get an IATAN non-ticketing accreditation, the travel business must prepare the following documents.

  • Show your financial benchmarks. Here the document kit varies by the type and size of business: for home-based and new business, for travel business or meeting planner entities, and for corporate travel departments. These may include a financial statement or expense report of the business, the previous year’s income tax return (for long-term businesses), sales reports from travel industry suppliers, or letters from travel industry suppliers indicating the volume of sales.

The most complete information is available in the same Application Kit in the corresponding Non-ticketing section.

2. Submit proof of Errors and Omissions or Professional Liability Insurance. Include a copy of a valid insurance policy or errors and omissions waiver with proof of two years’ experience for the owner or the legal representative.

Once you are ready, follow the steps mentioned in the IATAN full accreditation section that we described above. For more information, you can rely on the Accreditation Kit or IATAN FAQ section .

IATA accreditation challenges to watch out for

Like with many other industry regulations, IATA has its own drawbacks to be aware of.

Time- and resource-consuming

Applying, collecting documents, and waiting for approval usually takes months. And it requires a lot of paperwork. In addition to completing the application kit, a travel agency or an individual agent usually has to gather business licenses, insurance records, tax forms, bank statements, and even photos of the location. Beyond that, a travel agent or owner has to check their annual and monthly revenues to meet IATA financial standards. And then you have to be bonded for a minimum of $50,000 (for 2-years or less activity) or an amount of money calculated to cover the Amount at Risk as noted in the TAH. There are extra obstacles to get accredited by IATA.

Requires annual reviews

Even after an agent or an agency is accredited, IATA verification doesn’t stop. The thing is, IATA conducts interim annual financial reviews. This means that all agents must submit their audited accounts no later than 4 months after each financial year-end, or as required by legislation, during the first two years of accreditation to be evaluated according to financial criteria. By the way, IATA also elaborated on local evaluation criteria for each country. All agents must present a financial security document during the first two years as an agent. It must meet Section 4 of Resolution 800f. If IATA notices financial instability during the financial evaluation, it initiates a trial period to prove financial and business viability.

No guarantee for sales boost

All that said and done, being IATA-accredited doesn’t ensure skyrocketing sales and revenue growth. Although it gives you the freedom to play around with your margin, the revenues don’t directly depend on your accreditation. Unfortunately, all the financial requirements and application-related costs may exceed your revenues.

If not IATA Accreditation, then what?

As you see, accreditation by IATA is very time- and effort-consuming with many pitfalls.

The fact is that not each and every travel business has the resources to submit to the accreditation process. So, how can you avoid this procedure but still sell flights? There are several ways.

Connect to a consolidator

Consolidators are third-party technology providers that have you covered. Providing services by individual negotiation, fixed price, or through an affiliate program, such solutions offer technical integrations on a turnkey basis. In addition to IATA accreditation, these usually include services such as connections to three main GDSs , travel APIs , separate integration of rail APIs , and many more.

This option usually suits those agencies that have sufficient funds but lack the time and interest to dive deep into accreditation details.

Choose a hosting agency

A hosting agency is a thriving travel business with stable revenues and ongoing customer flow. Usually, these are mature operators with worldwide coverage.

Due to their well-established and long-term presence on the market, big travel agencies have already obtained all required travel agency accreditation , including IATA, ARC (for the USA), and CLIA (for cruises). And smaller agencies can use the host agency accreditation number.

When sharing the IATA number, both sides usually sign a contract on mutually agreed terms. Splitting the commission from ticket sales is the most common practice.

This opportunity is most reasonable for small travel agencies or self-employed agents who have only started their path and lack the capacity, experience, and resources to take on the full accreditation procedure.

Consider other niches

Sometimes chasing big volumes of travel sales with flight tickets is not feasible. If a travel business is not yet well-established, or the market is saturated with offers like yours, think of moving to specific segments.

For instance, you may sell only tours to specific destinations. Or sell trips without issuing airline tickets. Here, a business owner has to examine their market, find a particular niche, and thoroughly plan further marketing activities . Thoughtfully planned execution should provide revenue from different distribution channels.

  • What is IATA? What is IATAN?

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is a trade association that has played a significant role in the travel industry since its inception in 1945. IATA serves as a unifying force for airlines across the globe by encouraging cooperation and standardization to ensure the seamless functioning of international air travel. Its primary functions include establishing industry standards, facilitating airline cooperation, and advocating for policies that enhance the aviation sector.

IATAN, also known as the International Airlines Travel Agent Network, operates as a department within IATA with the specific purpose of accrediting and identifying travel professionals. Acknowledging the indispensable role of travel agents in the industry, IATAN accreditation symbolizes excellence and professionalism. It functions as a trusted emblem, signifying that the accredited agent adheres to rigorous industry standards and is a reputable participant in the travel ecosystem.

The affiliation with IATA and IATAN holds substantial value for travel agencies. Through its endeavors in setting standards and fostering collaboration, IATA ensures a consistent and efficient global air travel experience. For travel professionals, securing IATAN accreditation signifies a dedication to professionalism and adherence to elevated industry standards.

The significance of industry association extends beyond recognition, encompassing access to a network of resources, timely industry updates, and exclusive opportunities. Travel agencies aligned with IATA and IATAN gain a competitive advantage, instilling confidence in clients and partners.

In the swiftly evolving landscape of the industry, this association becomes a foundational element for success, empowering travel professionals to navigate the intricate dynamics of international travel with credibility and expertise.

  • What is an IATA number?

An International Air Transport Association (IATA) number is a unique identification code issued by the IATA to individuals and companies in the travel industry. This credential is crucial for travel agencies engaged in international air travel services, as it serves as a gateway to numerous benefits and opportunities within the aviation sector. Having an IATA number can help travel agencies establish credibility, gain access to exclusive discounts and promotions, and provide better service to their customers.

There are two primary categories of agency IATA numbers: full and partial. A full IATA number empowers an agency to issue airline tickets on behalf of authorized airlines, subject to strict criteria for acquisition. Conversely, a partial IATA number, often known as a Travel Industry Designator Service (TIDS) number, offers a unique account identifier but lacks the authority to issue airline tickets.

It is beneficial for tasks such as identifying with hotel and car rental companies and streamlining commission payments to the agency. Acquiring a partial IATA number involves a straightforward process, usually requiring completing a simple form.

Moreover, alternative licenses, such as IATAN, offer varying authorization and benefits, with additional information on the official IATA website.

The need for obtaining an IATA number becomes evident when contemplating the issuance of airline tickets. While certain airlines, notably low-cost carriers , may not participate in IATA, a significant majority—over 84% of the world's airlines—operate within its framework.

Alternatives, such as engaging consolidators or airline portals, come with drawbacks, including additional fees and the absence of a centralized system for shopping and ticketing.

The agency's IATA number is pivotal in fund distribution between the agency and the airlines. Operating akin to an account number, it facilitates the allocation of funds to entities involved in the ticketing process, encompassing airlines and airports for taxes.

The IATA number is essential to refund and voiding processes for airline tickets and is prominently featured on all agency-issued tickets. Financial reporting for each airline is structured based on the agency's IATA numbers.

Agencies possess the flexibility to hold multiple IATA numbers, commonly utilized to segregate financial reporting per ticketing location and mandated for offices established in various countries. This comprehensive process places responsibility on the agency for the values of issued tickets until the associated payments are cleared.

Especially in cash transactions, IATA mandates a financial bond, calculated based on the ratio of cash versus credit card ticket sales, held in escrow throughout the agency's licensure period. This financial measure ensures agencies maintain a secure financial position to fulfill their liabilities in the ticketing process.

  • What is an IATAN number?

An IATAN number, constituting an 8-digit IATA Code integral to the IATAN Accreditation process, represents the pinnacle of validation for travel agencies. Recognized universally within the industry, this distinctive identifier is acknowledged as the standard for identification by a spectrum of suppliers, including hotel and resort chains, cruise lines, car rental companies, theme parks, and rail companies.

It serves to simplify the intricate processes of reservations, sales activities, and commission distribution within the dynamic landscape of the travel industry.

The attainment of IATAN Accreditation bestows upon travel agencies an array of advantages, encompassing:

International Professional Status- The certification of the agency's professional standing on a global scale.

Inclusion on IATA CheckACode and the IATA Agency List- Assuring visibility and validation by industry suppliers.

Streamlined Booking Processes- Effortlessly facilitating reservations for hotels, cars, flights, and various travel services for clients.

Increased Opportunities for Incentives and Commissions- Augmenting the likelihood of securing incentives and commissions from industry partners.

ID Card for Eligible Staff- Endowing eligible agency staff access to the prestigious IATA/IATAN ID Card, a notable professional credential in the industry.

IATAN, one of the most esteemed professional organizations in the United States, rigorously evaluates accredited agencies, ensuring unwavering adherence to its exacting standards and requirements.

The significance of IATAN Accreditation is underscored by the fact that numerous industry suppliers explicitly mandate this accreditation for agency partnerships.

The benefits of IATAN Accreditation extend beyond the agency to its team members, who are eligible to apply for an IATA/IATAN ID Card. This credential unlocks access to exceptional travel benefits and continuous discounts and facilitates ongoing professional training, empowering the team and broadening the agency's influence.

Accreditation is accessible to a diverse spectrum of U.S. travel professionals, including store-front, home-based, or online travel agents/advisors, independent, partnership, or corporate businesses, ticketing or non-ticketing travel agents/advisors, meeting planners, event organizers, site selectors, independent travel consultants of a host agency, and corporate travel departments & corporate client locations.

Application Process for IATAN Number

Initiating the application process for an IATAN number requires careful attention to specific documents and procedures. Firstly, obtaining ARC (Airline Reporting Corporation) Approval is crucial, especially in the USA, where all payment transactions related to ticketing are processed through ARC. Adhering to the provided guidelines is essential to acquire ARC accreditation successfully.

Simultaneously, providing conclusive proof of a current business license is imperative. This document should display the entity's legal name and confirm the business's "active" or "in good standing" status with the relevant state, county, or city.

Applicants must present verifiable proof of ownership and the legal form of the business corporation. It is essential to recognize that different states of rights require distinct business licenses and agreements; detailed information is available in the accreditation package.

Including documented evidence of Seller of Travel Registration for specific states, notably California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, and Washington, is necessary in the application process.

Substantiated proof of two years of experience for QMP/QTA (Managerial Qualifier and Ticketing Qualifier) is another crucial aspect. This involves providing documented evidence of travel activity experience, such as letters of recommendation or certifications from prior employers, partners, or esteemed travel industry suppliers.

To proceed, download the documents required for the application. After completing the necessary papers and ensuring they are duly notarized, including proofs of business activities, the submission should be sent directly to the designated IATAN submission email.

Upon receiving and processing all application documents by IATAN, the final step involves online payment of registration fees. The accreditation costs $247 for a head office or branch and $410 for a corporate travel department, with annual service fees of $103 and $184, respectively. Detailed instructions on registration fees will be communicated via email, with an average application consideration period of approximately 30 days.

  • IATA Vs IATAN Accreditation

IATA and the IATAN play crucial roles in the travel industry, each serving distinct purposes. IATA, a global airline trade association, focuses on accrediting airlines worldwide to ensure compliance with industry standards. This accreditation empowers travel agencies to handle airline ticketing directly, streamlining processes and bolstering credibility.

Conversely, IATAN operates within IATA and caters explicitly to US-based travel agencies, offering similar accreditation options tailored to the US market. Both accreditations enhance agency credibility, fostering strong relationships with airlines and hotels. The application processes for IATA and IATAN are comparable, necessitating documentation of general business operations, qualifications, and financial viability.

IATA accreditation comprises three levels with varying capabilities and fees. The evaluation process typically takes approximately two weeks. Costs encompass application fees ranging from 250 CHF (~$280) to 2500 CHF (~$2800), along with annual fees based on gross annual sales through the Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP). IATAN accreditation likely follows a comparable cost structure.

Comprehending the distinctions between IATA and IATAN accreditation aids travel professionals in choosing the accreditation that aligns with their geographical focus, business model, and specific requirements. Both accreditations offer global recognition, streamline processes, and enhance industry credibility.

IATA and IATAN, are pivotal entities within the travel industry, each serving distinct purposes with specific focuses.

  • Types of IATA Accreditation For Travel Agencies

IATA accreditation offers various types tailored to different needs within the travel industry. Each accreditation type requires specific steps for certification. Below, we outline the key accreditation types, the steps involved, and recommendations for their suitability based on agency types.

GoLite represents a more limited accreditation model ideal for travel agencies that exclusively engage in non-cash transactions, relying on IATA EasyPay and card payments. This streamlined accreditation option is designed to simplify the process for agencies with minimal financial requirements.

  • Benefits of IATA Accreditation for Travel Agencies

Efficient Ticketing Process

IATA accreditation streamlines the airline ticket issuance process by leveraging the IATA Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP). This accreditation ensures a seamless workflow and contributes to significant cost reductions.

Key Advantages

IATA accreditation empowers travel agencies with a simplified and efficient mechanism for issuing airline tickets. Agencies can navigate the ticketing process seamlessly by adhering to the standards set by the IATA BSP.

In addition to streamlining processes, IATA accreditation through the BSP framework enhances the financial efficiency of transactions. This results in cost-effective operations, benefitting the agency and, ultimately, the end consumer.

The efficient ticketing process achieved through IATA accreditation translates into operational excellence and financial savings for travel agencies, marking a pivotal advantage in the competitive travel industry.

Access to Exclusive IATA Products and Services

IATA-accredited travel agencies benefit from privileged access to a range of services provided by IATA, including Timatic travel information and the IATA Travel Centre. This access enhances the agency's reservoir of travel information while also giving entry to specialized services tailored to the unique requirements of accredited agencies.

IATA accreditation provides agencies comprehensive access to travel-related information, leveraging tools like Timatic. This extensive resource improves the agency's capacity to deliver precise and timely information to clients, enhancing travel decision-making quality.

In addition to general travel information, accredited agencies gain admission to specialized services crafted by IATA to meet the distinctive needs and challenges encountered in the travel industry. These services offer a significant competitive advantage, empowering agencies to navigate the complexities of the market more effectively.

Access to exclusive IATA products and services enriches information reservoirs and equips travel agencies with specialized instruments, positioning them for success in a dynamic and competitive market.

Engagement in IATA Training Programs and Events

Travel agencies accredited by IATA gain valuable access to extensive training programs and events, fostering continuous learning and providing ongoing opportunities for professional development. This involvement ensures that the agency's staff remains updated on the latest products, trends, and regulations within the dynamic landscape of the travel industry.

IATA-accredited agencies leverage the wealth of industry knowledge IATA's training programs provide. This access guarantees that agency staff stays well-informed about the latest industry dynamics, enabling them to provide clients with accurate and relevant information.

Active participation in IATA training programs establishes pathways for professional growth. Agencies can enhance the skills and expertise of their staff, positioning themselves as industry leaders and gaining a competitive edge in delivering high-quality services to clients.

The involvement of accredited agencies in IATA's training programs and events goes beyond skill development, offering a continuous learning avenue for advancement in the ever-evolving travel industry.

Usage of the IATA Logo

Accredited travel agencies enjoy displaying the IATA logo prominently, which fosters customer confidence by indicating professionalism and strict adherence to industry standards. This logo is a visible endorsement of the agency's dedication to excellence, serving as a robust assurance to clients.

Utilizing the IATA logo signifies a commitment to industry best practices and standards, cultivating customer trust. It assures clients that the agency operates at a level of excellence endorsed by the globally recognized IATA.

The display of the IATA logo elevates the agency's credibility in clients' eyes, signaling that the agency has met rigorous accreditation requirements. This reinforcement solidifies the agency's position as a reputable and trustworthy player in the competitive travel market.

The incorporation of the IATA logo transcends mere visual representation; it serves as a potent tool for building trust and bolstering the overall credibility of accredited travel agencies.

  • Alternatives to IATA Accreditation

In the dynamic realm of the travel industry, agencies are encouraged to explore alternative pathways to the conventional IATA accreditation, offering adaptability and customization to specific requirements.

Collaboration with Non-IATA Airlines

Engaging in collaborative relationships with airlines beyond the IATA network emerges as a strategic alternative. While IATA accreditation follows standardized frameworks, aligning with non-IATA airlines allows agencies to structure collaborations according to their unique needs. This strategy widens the range of available carriers, offering diverse partnership options that resonate with the agency's distinct business model and cater to specific client preferences.

Collaborating with the remaining 16%, which includes well-known carriers such as Emirates, Southwest, and Ryanair, provides travel agencies with distinctive collaboration opportunities.

Collaborative models with non-IATA airlines offer distinct customization opportunities, empowering agencies to tailor partnerships to their specific requirements. This flexibility fosters the creation of bespoke and mutually beneficial arrangements.

Accessing a comprehensive network is a notable advantage of collaborating with non-IATA airlines. Agencies can leverage a more extensive network of carriers, proving particularly advantageous when catering to niche markets or specific routes that may need to be comprehensively covered by IATA-affiliated airlines.

Engaging with non-IATA airlines presents specific challenges for travel agencies to assess carefully. One significant drawback is the potential need for industry standardization, contrasting with the structured processes of IATA.

This absence of a universally recognized framework may introduce operational complexities, demanding agencies to navigate through diverse and potentially inconsistent procedures.

Another essential aspect to consider is the variability in service quality among non-IATA airlines. These carriers may adhere to different service standards, necessitating agencies to skillfully manage and adapt to varying service levels.

Addressing these diversities requires heightened flexibility and responsiveness from travel agencies, ensuring a consistent and satisfactory experience for their clients.

Specialized Certifications for Niche Markets

Another viable alternative is the pursuit of specialized certifications tailored to niche markets. Departing from the broad standards IATA sets, agencies can obtain certificates that cater to unique travel preferences or specialized segments within the industry. This strategic approach empowers agencies to discover a distinctive niche in specialized markets.

Examples of specialized certifications include:

  • Adventure Travel Specialist Certification
  • Luxury Travel Advisor Certification
  • Sustainable Tourism Certification

Specialized certifications empower agencies to focus on specific travel preferences or segments, enhancing their ability to meet the distinctive needs of particular clientele. This targeted approach contributes to heightened client satisfaction and loyalty.

Obtaining certifications for niche markets enables agencies to showcase expertise in particular areas, appealing to travelers with specific preferences and establishing the agency as a recognized authority in those specialized markets.

When contemplating specialized certifications, travel agencies should be mindful of certain drawbacks. One significant concern is the limited generalization that comes with these certifications. While they empower agencies to focus on specific travel preferences or segments, this specialization may narrow their scope in broader markets, potentially excluding clients with diverse tastes.

Striking a balance between discipline and catering to a diverse clientele becomes crucial to ensure sustained business growth.

Another important consideration is the cost associated with pursuing multiple specialized certifications. While these certifications enhance expertise in specific areas, agencies must weigh the financial implications.

Pursuing numerous certifications can incur additional costs, impacting the agency's budget. Careful financial planning is essential to manage certification expenses effectively and assess the return on investment in terms of enhanced market positioning and client satisfaction.

Contemplating alternatives to conventional IATA accreditation allows travel agencies to adapt to the industry's evolving dynamics. Whether collaborating with non-IATA airlines or obtaining specialized certifications, these alternatives give agencies the adaptability to tailor their strategies, potentially leading to increased business opportunities and heightened client satisfaction.

In the complex terrain of the travel industry, exploring alternatives to traditional IATA accreditation emerges as a strategic choice for agencies aiming for adaptability and tailored solutions. Whether establishing partnerships with non-IATA airlines or pursuing specialized certifications for niche markets, these alternative paths create avenues for expanded business prospects and enhanced client satisfaction.
