ASKY Airlines Payment Update

Effective with sales issued on Monday, February 05, 2024 (PED 02/11/24), ASKY Airlines (KP/032) will begin accepting UATP as a form of payment through ARC.

Scheduled My ARC System Maintenance – February 11 and February 18

My ARC will be unavailable on the following dates and times:

  • Sunday, February 11: 1-7 a.m. ET

  • Sunday, February 18: 1-7 a.m. ET

During these scheduled times, you will be unable to access My ARC or any of its tools, including IAR and Memo Manager. These system outages are necessary to perform required system upgrades and maintenance.

ARC realizes that any system outage is an inconvenience to you, and we apologize for any impact this may have on your work with ARC tools and products. The intent of this advance notice is to provide you with adequate time to make any necessary schedule adjustments. To help minimize the impact to you, early Sunday mornings are selected for maintenance because this time has the lowest level of user activity.  

Your understanding and patience are appreciated as we improve and upgrade ARC systems. Please share this information with others in your organization that may be impacted by these scheduled outages. Subscribe for notifications whenever any ARC system encounters an unexpected incident or is scheduled for maintenance at the ARC Status Dashboard.

Tip of the Week: How can I link another new document to an exchange?

Linking another new document to an existing exchange transaction is called a ‘companion exchange.’ You can manually link additional new documents to an exchange in IAR by following these steps:

  • Issue the new exchange transaction first.

  • Issue the companion document on the same day as the NEW exchange (recommended).

  • On the next business day, when the NEW exchange and NEW companion document load in IAR, on your sales report screen:

  1. Click the Document# of the NEW exchange.

  1. The Financial Details screen displays.

  1. Move to the ‘Exchanges: New Document’ section of the Financial Details screen.

  1. Enter the companion document number in the ‘Add 10-character New Document#’ box.

  1. Click the ADD button to add the new document to the exchange transaction.

Once linked, the exchange and the companion document become a single companion exchange transaction. It is identified on the IAR sales report in the transaction type (TT) column with the indicator of “CX.” 

Companion exchanges include residual value MCOs/EMDs that are issued to transfer non-refundable residual value to the MCO to be used in a future exchange. Please see the previous TAC message  PED 11/12/2023 (arccorp.com)  for instructions on how to issue a residual value MCO or EMD so that it automatically links to an exchange to create a companion exchange. If the residual value document does not properly link to its exchange when issued in the GDS, you may also follow these steps to manually create the companion exchange link. 

IAR supports using up to 20 new documents in a single companion exchange transaction. Similarly, IAR supports using up to 20 old documents in a single or companion exchange transaction. Not including residual value documents that automatically link to their exchange, you must manually link other new documents into an exchange to create a companion exchange.
