ASI carries out a first check on inward interline billings for a number of airlines. The ASI audit consistently obtains a higher return for the airline customer than can be achieved using internal or external proration systems. ASI will deliver a higher recovery rate and will only charge commission on amounts recovered so the service is obtained at no real cost to your airline.
For many years ASI has established a reputation of adding value to its customers through the secondary check on interline billings. We are recovering an additional $2 to $3 per coupon for our customers from the second pass audit. When you have completed your check on your inward coupon volumes, ASI will then undertake a recheck and based on our experience we will recover additional recoveries thereby increasing the return that revenue accounting contributes to your airline. The service is provided on a commission basis – if ASI does not achieve a return for your airline then there is no cost.
Many airlines do not have the skilled resources to manage recharges from other airlines. In many cases, these items go unchecked by the receiving airline. ASI has an expert team of prorators skilled in checking recharges and FIMs. We currently provide the service to a number of customers thereby ensuring that all over billings are identified and rejected back to the billing airline. In this way ASI generates cash and profit for its customers and ensures that the airline revenues are protected.
ASI has developed, under license from IATA, an interline taxation audit application that takes the information from the RATD and enables our staff to quickly check that the correct interline taxes have been billed in accordance with the rules of the RATD. In addition to checking the proration values, ASI will provide your airline with a comprehensive check on the billing of interline taxes. We will give you peace of mind that you are not being over-billed for taxes.
ASI has the system and expertise necessary to recover any over -billings in interline taxes.
Many airlines raise interline billings based on IATA sampling techniques. ASI will provide a recheck on the sample billings and will identify additional recoveries that would otherwise be lost. In this way ASI provides quality assurance on the airline sampling techniques and has achieved additional recoveries for its customers.
ASI provides a service to a number of customers involved in alliances where we carry out a regular review of the interline billings between the alliance partners. Our service provides the customer with comfort that the agreed standards of billing within the Alliance are maintained. We also provide a confidential method of recovering monies that may have been over-billed in error.
ASI provides an audit of e ticket billings ensuring that you identify any over billings and ASI has identified errors that are unique to the electronic processes. ASI will provide you with peace of mind n the interline e ticket audit process.
ASI has carried out a review of inward cargo billings for a valued customer and over a three month period we recovered significant over-billings. A number of our staff have experience in cargo billing and we can add value to your airline cargo processes by providing a recheck on accepted inward billings. ASI can provide you with the support and comfort that you are maximising your recovery on interline cargo billings.
The interline process is changing radically over the next few years and a number of airline customers have made a decision to outsource their interline backroom process to ASI. By outsourcing the check on interline billings, our customers avoid the cost of investment in training and recruitment.ASI provides management information on recovery to allow the airline measure the impact of industry changes on recovery trends. ASI will recover a higher percentage of over-billing than any airline system. That's why many airlines leave the checking of interline billings to ASI.
