What is an Illinois Airline Reporting Corporation Agent Bond?

Know the who, what, and how of this important surety bond today!

The Airline Reporting Corporation (ARC) requires persons who are intending to become ARC agents to post and maintain a surety bond as a form of financial guarantee.

 

According to the ARC, “application will not be considered complete until ARC receives the financial guarantee”.

 

The surety bond will ensure that the ARC agent will faithfully perform the required obligations. These include the following:

  • That the traffic documents entrusted by the Airline Reporting Corporation (ARC) to the ARC agent will be protected
  • That the bonded Principal (ARC agent) will pay the carriers or the ARC the money owed about the sale of tickets or other valuable instruments that have been issued in both paper and electronic versions of the ARC traffic documents
  • Act by the Agent Reporting Agreement

The surety bond will also serve as a guarantee of protection for the ARC in the event of a potential financial loss arising from the ARC agent’s breach of obligations.

 

A claim against the surety bond will not occur so long as the ARC agent conforms to the applicable rules. The Obligee of the surety bond, however, may file for a bond claim to recover any losses obtained because of the ARC agent’s violations.

 

What is the Airline Reporting Corporation Agent Bond amount?

The bond amount will vary per ARC agent and will be determined by the Airline Reporting Corporation.

 

Those who have excellent credit scores will be eligible for a very low bond premium, or just 1% of the bond amount!
