Introduction to SIS (General Webcast) • “Integrated Settlement” is based on the principles of completely paperless billing, invoicing, and settlement • Benefits include: • Data quality improvements to the billed carrier • Billing carrier’s upload format doesn’t impact billed carrier’s download format • Reduction in paper and courier fees and internal supply chain (paper handling) costs • Automation & Optional Services • Quicker cash flow due to reduced rejection timeframes • ‘Airline Profile’ to be a centralized database for all IS options and permissions • IS features discussed are subject to change SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast
Non-core Functionality • Core functionality of SIS enables paperless billing and settlement. • The non-core functionality is considered by the SIS Working Groups to be “value-added services”; its final inclusion is dependent upon implementation costs and airline demand and will likely be billed to carriers separately, based on usage. • Non-core functionality includes (but is not limited to): • IS-XML File Format • Non-core functionality is coloured orange on the following pages SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast

Correspondence – With IS • Correspondence can include an “authority to bill” flag which identifies when the authority to bill has been issued • Not tied to settlement periods like transactions in Integrated Settlement – real-time and similar to e-mail but via IS-WEB interface • Validation ensures no “cross-over” – correspondence can only be in reply to another correspondence (or 3rd-stage RM) and cannot be out-of-order SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast

Central Repository & Supporting Docs • What? • Any type of supporting document (image, PDF, IS-XML, etc) • How long? • As long as the data is operationally required • When? • Before or after the associated record is uploaded (with “pending attachments” flag, which allows for notifications if not uploaded) • How? • To be determined in the next phase with the help of the supplier SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast
Audit Trail & Rejection History • With operational data being stored: • Future records (e.g. rejections) don’t need supporting documents re-attached • IS-WEB can be used to search and take action on previous billings: • Search & browse through all records for which your carrier billed or was billed • View audit trail of linked correspondences, rejections, and prime billings • Find outgoing correspondences that haven’t been responded to • Go directly to appropriate action SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast
Audit Trail Analysis & Reporting • Search by accounting code, coupon number, source code, billing period, authority to bill, etc • Drill down through tickets, coupons, tax breakdowns, correspondences, etc • Viewing and downloading of analysis (reporting) available • Actions (where applicable): • View the rejection history • Create a rejection memo • Create correspondence • Create a billing memo SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast

Passenger File Formats • Subject to change based on costs and carrier demand • See ‘IS File Formats’ and ‘Pax Prime’ webcasts for more information SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast
Next Steps – Sep to Dec 2008 • Webcasts through September • RA annual meeting (September 08) • Presentation and breakout sessions for information and discussion • FinCom (September 08) • Update on SIS (they strongly support the project) • Board of Governors (December 08) • They wish to see radical change and will decide the way forward • They will be looking for initiatives that reduce operating costs, improve data quality, and help to meet environmental objectives • SIS Project Team • Continues the momentum through to Phase 3 SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast
