Reservations with IATA 99999992 as the Agent

Reservations with IATA 99999992 as the Agent

  1. IATA IDs of 99999999 (usually Sabre) and 99999992 (Apollo/Galileo) are dummy (or ‘wild card’) IATA numbers.
  1. These allow Travel Agencies, that do not currently have official "unique" IATA numbers associated within their respective GDS, to still be able to book reservations via the applicable GDS.

  1. Assigning unique IATA numbers to Travel Agencies is the responsibility of the applicable travel agent and their associated GDS channel.
  1. There is no direct control over which agencies can use the dummy/wildcard IATA numbers and/or have the ability to require Travel Agencies to use a unique IATA number to be able to confirm a reservation via the system.
