The Economic Times had this interesting piece of data in this article on the surge in e-ticketing for air tickets in India. The percentage of paper air tickets sold in India plunged to 27 percent in May 2007 from 81 percent for the same period last year, according to Amadeus, a travel systems providers. The article claims that at this rate, India could meet IATA’s deadline for making all air ticketing around the world electronic by March 31, 2008.
Readers please bear in mind that Amadeus provides ticketing technology to travel companies and so the numbers presented should be taken with a pinch of salt.
