About IET
• IET (Interline e-Ticketing) is a cooperation between airlines about selling electronic tickets on each other’s flights • It’s not just a contract, it’s a very well defined way of common business rules and synchronization of e-Ticket databases. • It’s always bilateral. There’s no real hub that allows you to connect to airlines without going through the setup process. (see next slide)
