A quick guide to one of the most important requirements in becoming an ARC agent!
What is an Airlines Reporting Corporation Agent Bond?
Every person who will act as an agent for any carrier and has entered into an agreement with the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) through the Agent Reporting Agreement is required to obtain a surety bond.
Compliance with the rules of the Airlines Reporting Corporation is one of the reasons for the procurement of a surety bond.
This includes, but is not limited to, the faithful performance of the following contractual obligations by the bonded agent:
- The bonded agent must acknowledge and secure the ARC traffic documents that will be supplied by the ARC
- The bond should cover the amount of the tickets or other instruments of value issued on ARC traffic documents that are owed by the bonded agent to the carriers and ARC
If the agent breaches the bond’s conditions – which includes the terms of the Agent Reporting Agreement – the Obligee (beneficiary of the bond) will be eligible to recover the amount by filing a bond claim.
