United States Air Consolidators Association

It is the mission of the United States Air Consolidators Association (USACA) to serve as the national trade association for those air consolidator businesses which provide their travel agent customers with integrity, trust and reliability.

This is ensured by the requirements that each member transacts at least $20 million annually in air consolidation in conjunction with scheduled airlines; is incorporated in the United States for at least two years, and has never filed for bankruptcy or ceased operation.

TRAVEL AGENTS DO NOT NEED MEMBERSHIP TO BUY FROM A USACA CONSOLIDATOR.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE USACA MEMBERS

1. More commission. Bulk fares allow the travel agents to mark up the ticket according to their market. Discounted published fares allow the agents to get up to 45% off the published rate available in the CRS. The agent can give a portion of the % back to the passenger. This lets the travel agents earn more commission and enhance customer loyalty.

2. USACA consolidators have met the association's requirements for admission including:

--length of uninterrupted service as a consolidator to travel agencies, at least two years, all present USACA members have a minimum of 10 years each
--must sell at least $20 million in consolidated air sale

3. USACA consolidators accept major credit cards.

4. USACA members' contracts allow mileage accrual with the major airlines.

5. Most USACA members have or are about to have systems that allow travel agencies to obtain quotes via any CRS or the Web saving significant time to the agent allowing him/her to deliver superior service to the passenger.

6. USACA members have the ability to negotiate last minute tickets and offer lower airfares to your clients.

7. USACA members provide air consolidator tickets to retailers within fourteen business days of receipt of payment.

8. USACA members provide you with travel itinerary details and other information.

9. USACA members are reliable professionals and have been in business for over two years consecutively.
