• Monitor and dispute invalid debit memos with airlines in a timely manner.
• Maintain up-to-date records for all ARC activity and reporting.
• Coordinate with accounting, operations, and ticketing teams to ensure accurate reporting.
• Keep current on ARC regulations, airline policies, and industry changes.
• • Participate in internal audits related to travel transactions and ticketing processes.
• Provide training or guidance on ARC, Sabre, and best practices to reduce errors and improve compliance.
