Airports operator AAI has joined hands with International Air Transport Association (IATA) for providing e-billing solution for data, e-invoicing and collection of tariff from the airlines.
In this regard, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) has been inked between Airports Authority of India (AAI) and IATA.
Both sides have "joined together for providing a comprehensive e-billing solution to air navigation service providers and airport service providers for data gathering, e-invoicing and collection of tariff from airlines," AAI said in a release today.
AAI Member (Finance) S Suresh said the airport operator and IATA have more than a decade long association of invoicing and collection.
During this period, the system has been augmented in such a way that it has become a robust and unique as at present there is no other comprehensive e-billing system available for data gathering, invoicing and collection in one system, the release said.
State-run AAI was accorded 'Miniratna' status in 2008, granting it the right to exercise its powers of autonomy in terms of investment in projects and forming joint ventures.
Of the 125 AAI airports, currently 95 are operational, with 70 of them having scheduled flights.
