United Airlines and ANA to launch Joint e-Ticketing in December

Next month customers traveling on international trips that include both United Airlines and All Nippon Airways (ANA) operated flights will be able to use just one electronic ticket (e-ticket) for all trip segments. Individual ANA and United tickets for departure, return and multi-city segments will no longer be required.

"E-ticketing is essential for ensuring efficient customer service. E-ticketing is becoming the industry standard in ticket reservations and United remains at the forefront of the transition from paper tickets," said Mark Schwab, United vice president-Pacific.

United has already launched similar agreements with the Star Alliance carriers Air Canada and Lufthansa. ANA is the third step toward the completion of a global project which will soon enable customers to travel on the entire Star Alliance network with just one e-ticket.
