What You Will Learn as an Air Ticketing Intern

An air ticketing internship is designed to take you from absolute beginner to a confident ticketing professional. Here is what a typical internship covers:

• GDS Systems: Hands-on training on Amadeus or Galileo — flight searches, fare displays, PNR creation, ticketing, and cancellations
• Fare Construction: Understanding fare basis codes, booking classes, taxes, service fees, and how to calculate total ticket costs
• Airline Knowledge: Learning about different airline types (full-service, low-cost, hybrid), their policies, and baggage rules
• Geography and Routing: Understanding world geography, major airline hubs, and how to plan optimal travel routes
• Client Communication: Handling phone calls and emails, responding to travel enquiries, and providing booking confirmations
• Documentation: Maintaining booking records, issuing invoices, and coordinating with accounts for payment processing

Opportunities in Thane

Thane has become a thriving hub for travel and visa services. Its excellent railway and road connectivity to Mumbai, growing commercial infrastructure, and large residential population make it an ideal location for travel agencies and visa consultancies.

At BTW Group's Thane office, located near Gaondevi Bus Depot, our air ticketing interns work alongside experienced executives, handling real bookings for clients travelling to destinations across the globe — from Schengen countries and the UK to the US, Canada, Australia, UAE, and Southeast Asia.

Opportunities in Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai is poised to become a major aviation hub with the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport at Panvel, expected to handle 60 million passengers annually once fully operational. This development is already attracting travel agencies, logistics companies, and hospitality businesses to set up operations in the area.

For freshers in Navi Mumbai, air ticketing internships offer a chance to get ahead of the curve. As the airport opens and airlines expand their operations, demand for trained ticketing professionals will rise significantly. Interns who gain GDS and ticketing experience now will be well-positioned for full-time roles when the airport becomes fully operational.

Internship vs. Direct Full-Time: Which Is Right for You?

If you are unsure whether to apply for an internship or go directly for a full-time role, here is a simple guide:

• Choose the internship if you are still in college, have no prior exposure to travel systems, or want to test the industry with a low-pressure commitment.
• Choose full-time if you have completed your education, need financial stability, or already have basic GDS knowledge and want to start building your career immediately.

BTW Group offers both options. If you are unsure, start with the internship — it carries no long-term obligation and often leads to a full-time offer.
