The show will focus on how airlines can reduce credit card fees and save on distribution costs by accepting UATP and alternative forms of payments instead of credit cards.

This segment of World Business Review will explore how the recent changes in the travel industry have impacted both the business traveler and the airlines hard. After fuel and labor costs, distribution -- which includes credit card use; handling and delivery, is the third highest expenditure for carriers today.

Coordinating producer Robert Stalzer said in a Multi Media Productions release, "When researching the latest developments in alternative payment solutions, Universal Air Travel Plan, Inc. consistently came up as being in touch with the most current advancements in this area. They were a natural to appear on this edition of World Business Review."
