NEW TRAVELPORT SOLUTION
TACKLES AIRLINE FRAUD
TRAVELPORT has partnered
with ACI Worldwide on a new
fraud control and settlement
solution for airline customers
– Travelport Authorize Plus.
The airline industry incurs
losses of around US$1-billion per year due to fraud,
based on calculations by the
International Air Transport
Association.
The new solution offers
real-time protection, detailed,
online reports, fraud screening of card payments used to
purchase air tickets via Travelport connected agents and
the ability to flag and prevent
ticket issuance.
Derek Sharp, Senior Vice
President and Managing
Director of Air Commerce
at Travelport, said another
major advantage was that the
solution meant fraud control
management could be applied
without airlines or agent
customers having to do any
major development or change
workflow processes.
