Aviation remittances are the most complex reconciliation problem in any industry
GDS platforms, TMCs, IATA BSP, corporate clients, and cargo agents — each sends multi-page batch payment documents that can cover hundreds of individual transactions.
One GDS settlement can take 45 minutes manually
Amadeus, Sabre, or Travelport settlements cover hundreds of booking transactions in a single document. Each line references a PNR, ticket number, or flight segment. Processing one remittance by hand takes the better part of an hour.
Every payer uses a different format
GDS platforms, TMCs, corporate clients on account, freight forwarders, and IATA BSP all send remittances in different formats on different settlement cycles. None of them look the same.
Transaction references don't map directly to invoice numbers
Aviation remittances reference booking codes, ticket numbers, airway bills, and PNRs — not the Xero invoice numbers your finance team uses. Manual matching requires cross-referencing two reference systems simultaneously.
The time cost
What manual aviation remittance reconciliation costs per settlement cycle
Aviation finance teams processing GDS settlements manually are spending hours per cycle that automation can eliminate.
typical manual processing time for a single GDS settlement covering 100+ individual transactions
Aviation remittances are among the most complex
Booking codes, PNRs, ticket numbers, flight segments — none of which map directly to Xero invoice numbers. Manual matching requires cross-referencing two reference systems for every line.
High transaction counts compound the problem
A GDS settlement covering 200 transactions at 2 minutes per transaction is 6+ hours of manual work. Remittance Go processes all 200 in seconds.
Multiple payers, multiple cycles, every week
GDS, TMC, BSP, and corporate clients all settle on different cycles. Aviation finance teams face a constant rotation of complex reconciliation tasks without automation.
Time savings estimate

How it works
From GDS settlement received to Xero reconciled
Remittance Go reads multi-page aviation remittance PDFs, extracts each transaction reference, matches it to the corresponding Xero invoice using booking codes, ticket numbers, or invoice references, and applies the full batch.
Step 1 — Settlement arrives
GDS, TMC, BSP, or corporate remittances — forwarded to Remittance Go via email or direct upload. Multi-page documents are handled the same way as single-page ones.
Step 2 — Transaction lines extracted
Every transaction line in the document is extracted — booking code, ticket number, PNR, flight segment, amount, and any commission or fee adjustment. All pages, all lines.
Step 3 — Matched to Xero invoices
Each extracted line is matched to the corresponding invoice in Xero using the reference codes available in the remittance — booking references, ticket numbers, or invoice numbers, depending on payer.
Step 4 — Batch applied, discrepancies flagged
The full settlement is posted to Xero. Unmatched lines and discrepancies surface as exceptions before anything is applied. A complete audit trail is logged for every reconciliation event.
Frequently asked questions
Which GDS remittance formats does Remittance Go support?
Remittance Go handles remittances from major GDS platforms including Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport. The parser adapts to new payer formats — you're not limited to a fixed list. Contact the team to test against your actual remittance files before committing.
Can Remittance Go handle IATA BSP reconciliation?
Remittance Go can process the PDF remittances that BSP generates, but IATA BSP reconciliation involves specific structures — proration tables, interline billing, commission statements — that may require discussion. Contact the team to walk through your BSP setup before signing up.
Does Remittance Go handle multi-currency aviation payments?
Multi-currency handling follows Xero's multi-currency capabilities. If your Xero organisation is set up for multi-currency and invoices are in foreign currencies, Remittance Go processes and matches remittances accordingly. Contact the team to confirm your specific setup.
Can Remittance Go handle high-volume aviation remittance processing?
Yes. Remittance Go is designed for high-volume processing without bottlenecks. For organisations processing very high volumes — multiple GDS settlement cycles per month covering thousands of transactions — contact the team to confirm the right plan.
Are aviation-specific invoice formats supported?
Remittance Go matches transactions using whatever references are available in the remittance — booking codes, ticket numbers, invoice numbers, airway bills. The matching logic is flexible. For unusual reference structures, book a demo to test against your actual data.
