Galileo is to start issuing e-tickets for China Airlines in Asia from June 2005. The new China Airlines and Galileo e-ticket service covers Taiwan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and India.

The introduction of e-ticketing puts an end to the problems of lost, stolen or forgotten tickets for passengers while reducing ticket costs, streamlining airport check-in and generally increasing convenience and efficiency.

The increase in e-ticketing has also been driven by ever-larger numbers of travelers who book through the Internet, as well as by airlines continuing to add more flights and markets that can use e-tickets.
