Airline Appointed Location

What is an Airline Appointed entity?

An entity that holds ticket stock, or is capable of E-Ticketing and is engaged in the direct sale of air transportation.

What is a Non-Ticketing entity?

Non-ticketing entities range from individual home-based businesses to large corporations and do not hold airline agency appointments or issue airline tickets.

What is a Corporate Travel Department (CTD) location?

An IATAN accredited CTD is an in-house travel department that purchases air transportation and travel services for its own employees and owners rather than the general public; or it can be a business that meets and maintains the requirements for accreditation as an IATAN non ticketing location but its primary activity is not the sale/and or brokerage of travel and travel related services.

What is a Corporate Client Location (CCL) location?

A CCL is an IATAN accredited branch location on a customer’s premises (on-site) that is staffed either partially or entirely by employees of the Corporate Client on whose premises it is located rather than employees of the travel entity.
