        The Billing and Settlement Plan
                             (BSP)
      ▄  BSP is a system designed to facilitate and simplify 
        the selling, reporting and remitting procedures of 
        IATA Accredited Passenger Sales Agents.
      ▄ A key feature of the IATA Billing and Settlement 
        Plan is the Neutral Standard Traffic Document 
        (STD), which is used by Agents on behalf of all BSP 
        participating Airlines.

                     Advantages of BSP
    Simplifies and reduces agents’ work through the use of 
   STDs for automated or manual ticket issuance on behalf of 
   all BSP Airlines. 
    Provides one supply source of these traffic documents 
   and automates their distribution to Agent locations.
    Simplifies paperwork and reduces overhead costs by 
   replacing multiple sales reports with a single Agency Sales 
   Transmittal (AST), submitted to the BSP Data Processing 
   Center (DPC) electronically by the CRS (Computer 
   Reservation System) or GDS.

   ● Uses a simple set of standard administrative forms to be used 
    on behalf of all BSP Airlines.
    Enhances security - a single stock of traffic documents facilitates 
    safekeeping for Agents, i.e. less space is needed for storage 
    and inventory control becomes simpler and more secure.
    Establishes one central point to which reports are sent.
    Simplifies remittance procedures by establishing one point for 
    Agents' payments.
    Encourages the use of the most modern automated ticketing 
    systems and electronic ticketing, thereby economizing on time 
    and money. 
    Simplifies staff training. Courses specific to BSP procedures are 
    organized locally by ISS Management.
