View source for ATSS (Air Transportation Settlement Service)

'''ATSS''' (Air Transportation Settlement Service) is an aggregation of market representatives established to standardize the sale of passenger air transportation by accredited agencies and to ensure full, timely settlement of transactions with airlines. The executive governing body of the ATSS is the [[Transport Clearing House (TCH)]].
The main members of the system are air carriers officially registered and operating scheduled flights. The positive side of such membership is business expansion due to the increase of distribution network and reduction of financial risks under conditions of transparent reporting. First of all ATSS activity is focused on protecting the interests of air carriers, but accredited agencies, which have entered into standard agreements with the Transport Clearing House, can also become members of the system.

The history of ATSS began in late 1991, when at a conference with the participation of airlines, agencies and representatives of science industry, the concept with the basic principles of the organization of the settlement was adopted. Currently ATSS is at the stage of transition to large-scale implementation of electronic technologies in the processes of ticketing and interaction between the system participants.

* Simplification of air transportation sales procedures.
