ATPCO–IATA tax partnership: Supporting the retailing transition to offers and orders
When you buy a plane ticket, a surprising portion of the price isn’t for the flight itself, it’s taxes and fees that airlines are required to collect for governments around the world. Managing those taxes is complicated, constantly changing, and high-stakes, but ATPCO and IATA are collaborating to create a single, reliable source of tax information paired with automated processes, so airlines no longer have to interpret or correct things manually. When taxes are accurate in real time, advanced retailing capabilities—dynamic pricing, personalized offers, seamless servicing—can finally operate as intended, without unexpected settlement issues later.
