IATA BSP and ARC (Airline Settlement)

The Billing and Settlement Plan is IATA’s global system for settling money between travel agencies and airlines, with ARC performing the equivalent role in the United States. It is not a technical specification but it functions as one: BSP/ARC accreditation determines who may issue tickets at all, and its documents — traffic documents, EMDs, agency numbers, ADMs — are the portable record layer of air travel commerce.
