Simplifying the Business (StB) is an initiative by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to lower industry costs and improve passenger service. Launched in 2004, the program consists of four projects that the association says will save the airline industry over US$14 billion each year.[1].
Current projects include bar coded boarding passes (BCBP), IATA e-freight, Baggage Improvement Program and the Fast Travel Program.
StB completed its e-ticket project on June 1, 2008. The project converted the industry to 100% e-ticketing in four years [2], saving the industry US$3 billion, according to the association.
