The company started more than 30 years ago as an IT system provider for airlines before evolving into a leading company providing advanced-technology solutions for the global travel industry. Technology has always been critical to developing global travel, and increasing scale and access, something that mobile devices, AI, and data analytics are continuing. As such, we are positioned at the heart of the country’s digital transformation.

How do you expect demand for the Live Travel Space to evolve?

Today, our Amadeus Travel Channels business embraces the concept of Live Travel Space, a new concept powered by cloud technology called Amadeus Travel Platform, a robust platform built on open systems that harnesses the intelligent use of data and integrates new interfaces and architectures to provide our travel channels with B2B- and B2C-level access to all global travel content in one single place. As 80% of consumers worldwide now own smartphones, travelers expect information on demand for new content, destinations, and a better booking experience.
