Introduction
The V-MPD is a Virtual representation of the Manual MPD and Automated MCO
(MD50 transaction) completed online (in BSPlink), allowing for a paperless
transaction.
The purpose of V-MPD is to simplify and speed up the process of pre-payment for
such items as: PTAs, excess baggage, ground transportation etc. It provides Agents
with an automated method for the issuance of MPD transactions via BSPlink, which
are then included in the standard BSP billing process.
Presentation material about the V-MPD and a list of Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQs) are available for download in the “Download Centre” of the BSPlink Portal at
https://www.bsplink.iata.org (refer to section “BSPlink Customer Manuals”)
