Ural Airlines keeps selling more and more tickets online. E-tickets for two more flights (Yekaterinburg-Yerevan-Yekaterinburg flight 2949 and Yekaterinburg-Prague-Yekaterinburg flights 701 and 702) became available in November 2007. This means e-tickets are used for three of the carrier’s flights (including a flight to Dubai that has been using e-tickets since September 2007). Over 300 e-tickets are sold every month.

The new technology is gradually being employed for flights bound for Moscow and Saint Petersburg; so far, e-tickets have been made available for the airline’s staff, but very soon, businesses will be able to use them, too. The carrier is now busy communicating with the sales agents who will have to deal in e-ticket sales, the company’s press officer reports.

E-tickets make the check-in much easier, as all the information about a passenger gets stored on the company server, so a passenger only has to have a passport with him or her at the airport. This means one can buy tickets for relatives or friends who live in a different city, as they will only have to arrive in time for the check-in.

E-tickets are now available at Ural Airlines’ booking offices and from their authorized agents (the list is located at www.uralairlines.com or can be obtained over the phone +7 (343) 345-36-45 and 8-800-2000-262). In addition, e-tickets will be sold online in the near future.
