IATA Cuts Prices for Agent ID Cards in Canada

IATA will reduce its prices on agent ID cards in Canada by 16 percent to 25 percent, depending on the card, effective March 1.

The new charges will be $30 for a one-year card and $50 for a two-year card for IATA agents, $50 and $70, respectively, for those holding TIDS, the travel industry designator service number for non-air travel sellers.

After losing its IATA contract, ACTA launched its own card, priced at $60 for ACTA members and $90 for non-members, without regard to IATA or TIDS designators. The group also offered discounts to holders of CLIA members and Canada’s CITC designation.
