SINGAPORE – Amadeus will allow the low cost airline market to gain comprehensive access for the first time, to sales through travel agents and corporate customers using its new technology solutions.
Amadeus Ticketless Access enables up-to-the-minute fare and flight information from ticketless carriers to be displayed alongside those of full service airlines through the Global Distribution System (GDS).
Equally important, it eliminates an estimated 3-5 EURO per booking in added technology costs, currently faced by LCCs that distribute through this channel.
Damian J. Hickey, VP Airline Business Group Asia-Pacific, Amadeus, said, "By removing the added technology cost associated with distribution via the GDS, we have truly opened up sales through travel agencies, balancing the dependency of low cost airlines on the internet channel.
