It also demonstrates Amadeus' commitment to further evolving its global distribution system so that it continues to deliver value to both airlines and travel agents.
Developed specifically for ticketless and low cost carriers, Amadeus Ticketless Access is a technological breakthrough in cost effective distribution for these airlines. transavia.com will benefit from increased brand visibility and bookings in key growth regions outside of its home market.
Willem Hondius, Chief Commercial Officer of transavia.com, said: "Following years of consecutive profitability via direct sales channels, our objective now is to support further growth through a multi-channel distribution strategy, in which we facilitate the travel agents.
"We see significant potential in extending our reach into regions where internet penetration is lower than in our home markets and our brand is less well known, using the innovative technology in Amadeus Ticketless Access. Our goal is to grow passenger numbers and make profitable sales in these markets, through access to the travel agency channel in a setting that the agencies are used to and in a way that is best-suited to our business model." Commenting on the agreement, Jesper Soderstrom, head of the Low Cost Carrier Business Unit at Amadeus, said: "We are committed to bringing more LCC content to Amadeus and today's deal means over 130 destinations in Europe and Northern Africa are now covered through Amadeus Ticketless Access.
"We will progressively increase the booking functionality available on Ticketless Access for transavia.com to allow travel agents to also modify bookings made on the airline and sell ancillary products at any stage of the booking process. Our aim is to enable the travel agencies to fully serve their customers through a fast and efficient booking process," Soderstrom concluded. Currently 55 LCCs distribute their content through Amadeus' main distribution system, representing 48% of the world´s low cost carriers.
