Electronic Ticketing

In the context of aviation, electronic ticketing, often referred to as e-ticketing, is a digital method of ticket issuance that has largely replaced traditional paper tickets. This system allows passengers to book and purchase tickets for air travel online, eliminating the need for physical tickets. The details of the journey, including the passenger's name, flight number, destination, and other relevant information, are stored in the airline's computer system. Upon check-in, passengers can print their boarding passes or use mobile boarding passes on their smartphones. E-ticketing has revolutionized the aviation industry by streamlining the ticketing process, reducing costs associated with printing and handling physical tickets, and providing greater convenience for passengers. It also allows airlines to easily manage bookings, make changes to flights, and track passenger information. Furthermore, e-ticketing has environmental benefits as it reduces paper waste. Despite these advantages, e-ticketing also presents challenges such as potential issues with technology, internet connectivity, and cyber security.
