As a UATP Merchant, Avia will use USS specifically to track all service fees, net fares, and airfares charged on clients' UATP accounts; allowing for easy reconciliation of accounts.

"By accepting UATP, Avia can continue with our focus on customer service and deliver to the demands of our corporate client base while staying competitive in the corporate travel sector."
Created in 1997, Avia International focuses on operating a cost efficient, fee based, and professional organization. Since inception, the majority of Avia's business has been "net" of commissions. Avia actively uses net fares that push the savings right to the customers at point of sale. This reduces the cost of travel and offers the best of service to Avia's client base.
