10 Travel - Iata's Termination Upheld (also Ytb)

The IATA Agency Commissioner for the United States upheld the termination of "10 Travel". This is a travel agency based out of Phoenix, Arizona known as Tri Star Travel.

"10 Travel" was one of four agencies canceled last year for improper use of their issued IATA numeric code. YTB (Your Travel Business) was another of the agencies notified for cancelation. The "10 Travel" cancelation took place in November 2007.

IATA made a statement that "10 Travel" violated the standards which forbid agencies to lend, subcontract or hire out use of IATA numeric codes. It was ruled by the commissioner that "10 Travel" must stop using their IATA code, as well as recall all ID cards where this IATA number was present.

Due to the importance of this IATA number being needed to book travel effectively, YTB (Your Travel Business) also appealed to the commissioner earlier in the year. However, their results were the same as 10 Travel, and their request was also denied.

Let it be noted that TraVerus Travel, a direct competition of the travel agencies "10 Travel" and YTB, continue to be in great standings with IATA. Due to the fact that TraVerus is an actual brick and mortar travel agency, with Certified Travel Agents.
