KLM ditches traditional air tickets

Friday 30 May 2008

KLM is to replace printed tickets with electronic ones from June 1 on all flights, the airline said on Friday.

Some 99% of passengers already use e-tickets, which are more efficient, safer and environment-friendly, KLM said. If all airlines switched to e-tickets it would save them €2bn a year and 50,000 trees, news agency ANP reported.

Environmentally friendly? Won't you be given a paper document at some time during the check-in process to use in boarding the plane? I don't see how this is environmentally friendly.

Even e-ticket needs to be printed if not by airline but by the passenger.
