Travellers are often advised to refer to Timatic for visa information (or to ask airline staff to check). However, what is the correct pronunciation of Timatic? Is it approx Tim-a-tick, or Tie-matic (to rhyme with automatic)? Or is it something else?

Referring to IATAtv YouTube the first syllable is pronounced as a 'tem' not 'time'. Hence the word would sound like:
Tem a tik
You can listen to it at forvo as well.

You can hear the presumably IATA preferred pronunciation in this video:
te-matic as opposed to tea-matic or tie-matic. Like Timothy, or Timone from the Lion King.

It sounds like Tim-a-tick to me, and this is also how I pronounce it. Never caused any difficulties.
