Air China has announced plans to launch round-trip e-tickets for flights between Paris and Chinese domestic cities, which means a preliminary formation of a sales network for Air China in Europe.

Air China has already launched round-trip e-tickets to 16 cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Vancouver, Seoul, Frankfurt, Munich, Singapore, Deli, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, London, Rome, Milan, Stockholm and Paris. Passengers can log into the official website of Air China or call their sales hotline to book an e-ticket to any of these cities.

Wang Wei, e-ticket manager of Air China, has told local media that the company would launch e-tickets for Pusan lines in the latter half of the summer and for Osaka, Nagoya, Sendai, Hiroshima, Sapporo, and Fukuoka in Japan in September. The company will sell also e-tickets for lines between China and Madrid and Bangkok by the end of this year.

At present, Air China runs seven weekly round-trip flights between Beijing and Paris. The implementation of the e-tickets on the line will give passengers more convenience and benefit. According to International Civil Aviation Organization, China will replace paper tickets with e-tickets by May 2008.
