Airline Reporting Corporation (ARC) — required surety bond in Federal. Apply online in minutes.
An Airline Reporting Corporation (ARC) bond is a financial guarantee that ensures travel agencies remit payments for airline ticket sales to the ARC. It acts as a safety net for airlines, guaranteeing they receive the funds collected by the agency on their behalf. If an agency fails to pass along these payments, the bond provides a mechanism for the ARC to recover the owed funds.
Travel agencies and ticketing businesses that wish to issue airline tickets through the ARC system typically need this bond. It is generally required for businesses seeking official ARC accreditation to operate as authorized ticket agents.
The Airline Reporting Corporation requires this bond to protect airlines from financial losses caused by travel agencies failing to remit ticket sales revenue. It ensures compliance with the ARC's financial and reporting guidelines. By requiring this bond, the obligee can trust that the accredited agency is financially accountable for the tickets they issue.
