MANILA (AP) - National carrier Philippine Airlines has completed its electronic ticketing system for all its flights, more than seven months ahead of a deadline set by an international airline association, the company said Friday.

The airline launched e-ticketing in May 2004 with flights between the Philippine capital, Manila, and central Cebu city, and finally covered its entire domestic and international network when it linked its Beijing station last Thursday, it said in a statement.

It said the completion of its e-ticketing service came more than seven months ahead of the deadline set by the International Air Transport Association for all the world's airlines to adopt the system.
