Amadeus Signs Content Agreement with China Airlines

Amadeus has signed an extensive long-term content agreement with China Airlines Group. Within Asia, the new agreement offers Amadeus subscribers access to the same level of fares, availability and functionality as any other travel agent content channel.

Outside of Asia, China Airlines and Mandarin Airlines have increased their content guarantee to Amadeus to the same fares, availability and functionality as both airlines distribute through their own websites, call centers and other travel agency content access channels.

Forecasted passenger volumes for both airlines in 2012 are 13.3m of which 11.1m correspond to China Airlines. Amadeus plays a critical role in the distribution space ensuring true global coverage with a 38.6 per cent global market share of air travel agency sales.

Today 80 per cent of Amadeus bookings worldwide are made on airlines with which Amadeus has a content agreement. Furthermore, this agreement will strengthen the Amadeus travel agency offering in Asia, providing them with an effective and technologically advanced distribution partner.
