AEA Technical Specifications

AEA has been instrumental in the development and establishment of specifications for automated ticketing and boarding pass processes, since their inception in the early 1980s.

AEA specifications for Automated Ticket and Boarding Pass equipment (ATB), Parametric Tables (PECTAB), Self Service and Baggage Tag Printers (BTP) related firmware are an industry standard, applied by manufacturers worldwide. The latest update of the specifications, known as ‘AEA2009’ was launched in January 2010.
