Since 1 June 2019, IATA Resolution 830d has made it mandatory for travel agents to provide airlines with passenger contact details so that the airline can notify the passenger in the event of any operational disruption.
It is essential that travel agents always remember to include passenger contact details, telephone number and email address during the booking process.
In the case of self-booking tools, these requirements must be included in the booking flows.
The process would be as follows:
• Actively ask each passenger ‘if they wish to provide their contact information (mobile phone number and/or email address) to the airlines participating in the itinerary so that they can contact them in the event of an operational disruption’.
• If the passenger wishes to provide this information to the airlines, the agent must include it in the PNR in accordance with the Resolutions governing reservation procedures. This means that SSRs designed for this purpose are published in AIRIMP under the authority of Resolution 766.
• When the passenger does not wish to do so, the Agent must ‘actively advise the passenger that they may not receive information from the airline about flight cancellations or schedule changes (including delayed departures)’ and include the refusal using the SSR designed for this purpose.
British Airways and Iberia will monitor compliance with this policy, and any agent who fails to follow the correct booking procedures will be subject to the measures adopted by the airline.
This will enable us to notify and inform our customers in the event that their flight has been affected by weather or operational issues.
The airlines will use the contact information provided to send the customer any operational notifications within the established time frame.
Customers obtain the following advantages:
1. Real-time flight updates
2. Proactive notifications in the event of service disruption (cancellations, delays, etc.)
3. Baggage-related updates
4. Automatic sending of rebooking information or boarding pass for the next available flights
5. Reduced waiting time, anxiety and inconvenience during service disruptions
6. A better customer experience
