Ural Airlines started offering its customers e-tickets within the framework of an interline agreement the carrier has with Hagn Air Lines GmbH. Now people can buy Ural Airlines’ e-tickets anywhere on the globe, provided the place has a booking office or an agency that cooperates with Hagn Air. At the moment, this is already possible in Belgium, Germany, China, India, Japan, Australia, the South African Republic, Canada, Brazil, and Chile, the airline’s press officer reports.

This interline agreement was signed by the two airlines in the summer of 2007, while the technical testing (supported by GDS Amadeus and Sirena Travel) lasted from February 2008 to April 2008.

Passengers have already started booking their e-tickets, which means foreign travelers are rather interested in the company’s flights.

Hagn Air is currently Ural Airlines’ only interline partner that supports the e-tickets business, but the carrier is planning to sign similar agreements with such international giants as Austrian Airlines, Finnair, and Emirates.
