  2. Air Transport Settlement System (ATSS) • Combination of governing bodies and participants interacting under concepts, technologies and rules effective in the System

  3. In operation since January 1, 1993ATSS has been implemented: • As a result of decentralization, demonopolization and deregulation of national economy including airline industry and transfer to application of market economy instruments • Under initiative of major carriers and agencies of Russia and CIS countries with administrative support (in 1992 and subsequent years) of Russian aviation authorities, Russian Association of Aircraft Operators and Inter-State Aviation Committee • Within extremely short period – ONE YEAR • By analogy to ARC (USA) and BSP (IATA)

  4. Purpose and scope • Rendering of standardized services related to passenger transportation sold by Accredited Agencies on CCS-TCH Standard Traffic Documents, including CCS-TCH e-tickets (hereafter – “STD”) and ensuring the full and timely settlement of sold transportation with the Airlines in accordance with effective rules, standards, procedures and technologies.

  5. Purpose and scope • Facilitation of the procedures related to passenger transportation sales, standardization of technologies, reporting and settlement for the benefited revenue among the System participants • Ensuring control over the funds flow from the Accredited Agencies to the Airlines • Reduction of Airlines’ costs intended for the maintenance of their own network of passenger transportation sales • Reduction of settlement periods between the Airlines and their contracting parties • Notification of the Airlines about the availability and spending volume of revenue • Reduction of revenue loss risk incidental to financial defaults of ATSS participants

  6. World Settlement Systems in operation • ASP (Area Settlement Plan)has been operating since 1964 in the USA under control of ATA (Air Transport Association of America).
