Middle East Airlines selects myIDTravel from Lufthansa Systems for optimized staff travel management
Lebanon’s Middle East Airlines will manage its staff travel with myIDTravel, the integrated ID travel management solution from Lufthansa Systems. With myIDTravel, Middle East Airlines can introduce self-service e-ticketing for flights of staff members on Middle East Airlines and other airlines. This enables the airline to streamline their staff travel processes and to comply with the industry mandate of replacing paper ID tickets by March 2012.
myIDTravel is an integrated solution for the efficient management of business and private ID travel. Through
e-ticketing, new self-service functions and a high level of automation, airlines can optimize their ID travel management and reduce costs. myIDTravel eliminates the need for paper tickets and enables airlines to replace them with electronic ID tickets for their own and even for interline flights. Furthermore, myIDTravel offers advantages for airlines by streamlining processes – from maintaining ID agreements and eligibility rules to revenue accounting and interline settlement. Airline employees also benefit greatly from using myIDTravel because they can conveniently purchase, change, issue and refund electronic tickets for their trips themselves.
Middle East Airlines is the national airline of Lebanon. Founded in 1945, it serves a network of 30 international destinations in the Middle East, Europe and Africa. Its fleet comprises modern Airbus A330, A321 and A320 aircraft. Based at Beirut International Airport, Middle East Airlines will join the global SkyTeam alliance in 2012.
