Tackle the root causes of ADMs

The industry currently issues 2.6 million Agency Debit Memos (ADMs) for a total value of US$436 million. This means that for every $571 sold by an airline,  $1 has to be recovered through an Agency Debit Memo (ADM).  Managing this process costs the industry $150 million per year. Without visibility over the reasons for issuance, airlines are not able to reduce their share of the costs. 

IATA ADM Insight is an online tool that provides airlines with a complete overview of their own ADM issuance, along with comprehensive analytics, so it is easy to identify the weak points and plan on how to overcome them. The tool enables airlines to understand what are the trends related to issuance of ADMs, so they can prevent revenue leakage to improve their cash flow.
