Travelport is also a leader in providing Interchange services to airlines around the world. The Interchange is a total solution which facilitates interline e-ticketing industry-wide. Airlines have immediate access to all carriers and ground handlers, representing over 20 different electronic ticketing systems, whose interline e-ticket messages are processed through the Interchange. The interline electronic ticketing (IET) infrastructure built into the Interchange removes technology barriers by allowing any electronic ticket- enabled airline to easily, quickly and cost-effectively connect with their interline partners.

The design, infrastructure and value of the Interchange offers airlines, ground handlers and their IET partners, the most advanced and efficient global e-ticketing platform including EDIFACT message translation to serve airlines holding IET agreements with other carriers and ground handlers.
