POS Groups

Point of sale (POS) is a point of sale where air transportation is booked (sold). POS is defined by a set of elements that describe the sales office where the carriage was issued. The system uses the POS Group concept, which incorporates many POSs, and, accordingly, many elements that characterize these POSs.

AIRIMP37 (Section 2.5.1) describes the components of the POS essence that can be used to describe it.

Padis message standards 10.1 (Section 5.46) describe the elements of the ORG segment and examples of their use to describe the place where the carriage is ticketed.
