Amadeus has announced it has renewed its multi-year distribution agreement with Air New Zealand. Under the agreement the airline will continue to make its fares and air content available to Amadeus-connected travel agencies via the Amadeus Travel Platform.
Travel sellers that are connected to the Amadeus Travel Platform will enjoy access to Air New Zealand’s flight schedules, load changes, seat maps and ancillaries, including real-time updates. Through this platform, Air New Zealand will continue to be able to reach travel sellers of all types, such as travel management companies, tour operators, retail travel agencies, online travel agencies, metasearch, media players, as well as corporations. This enables more choice and the best possible service for travelers as well as helping agents drive upsell opportunities and increased revenue for Air New Zealand.
“We are honored that Air New Zealand, a dynamic and innovative carrier, has extended our distribution agreement. At Amadeus, we recognize and understand the challenges airlines are facing. Our cutting-edge technology and unmatched global distribution network will help Air New Zealand meet and overcome these challenges. We pride ourselves on putting our customers at the heart of everything we do, and we will continue to provide Air New Zealand with the most efficient and cost-effective means to reach travel sellers across the globe,” said Cyril Tetaz, Executive Vice President, Airlines, Asia Pacific, Amadeus.
Air New Zealand Regional General Manager Sales & Alliances, Andrew Dale said, “Amadeus has long been a trusted partner and we look forward to continuing the partnership. This renewal ensures the airline’s content will continue to be available to travel agents in New Zealand, Australia, and the greater Asia Pacific region as we look to drive volumes in these markets.”
The Amadeus Travel Platform is based on fully open systems that harness the intelligent use of data. It is a one-stop where travel sellers can access all relevant travel content – including air, accommodation, rail, mobility, insurance and destination – from any source (EDIFACT, NDC and other APIs) into a single travel platform that can be accessible through a self-booking tool, a mobile or tablet, the travel seller website, an office location or a chatbot.
