What is a non iata agency?

A non-IATA agency is a travel agency that is not accredited by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), which sets standards for airline ticketing and travel industry practices. These agencies may not have direct access to airline inventory or ticketing capabilities that IATA-accredited agencies possess. Instead, non-IATA agencies often work through consolidators or wholesalers to book flights and may specialize in specific niches of travel services. They can still provide valuable services to clients, but their operational scope and ticketing processes differ from IATA agencies.
