Air France opts for IT solution from Lufthansa Systems

Air France relies on myIDTravel, Lufthansa Systems’ integrated ID travel management solution for staff travel. Both companies signed a seven-year contract to this effect. The system enables Air France to introduce self service e-ticketing for ID travelers on private trips on other airlines, which support the carrier in reducing costs by optimizing handling processes for staff travel.

myIDTravel is an integrated solution for efficient ID travel management. Through e-ticketing, the integration of self-service functions and a high level of automation, airlines can optimize their ID travel management. In the field of staff interline travel, thousands of paper tickets are still issued each day by airlines. myIDTravel eliminates the need for paper tickets and enables airlines to issue electronic ID tickets for interlining flights. In addition to e-ticketing, airlines benefit from streamlining all processes involved in ID travel - from managing eligible travelers, checking availability and listing for flights to revenue accounting.

The AIR FRANCE KLM Group comprises a holding company and two airlines that have retained their separate brands and identities. Together, Air France and KLM serve an extensive global network structured around their hubs at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Amsterdam-Schiphol. Currently, the group carries 74.5 million passengers annually to 244 destinations worldwide, and operates a fleet of over 600 aircraft.
