Amadeus and Strategic Airlines, Australia’s newest domestic and international airline, announced a global distribution agreement that provides travel agents across the globe, access to the carrier’s international and domestic fares, schedules and inventory.
The global distribution agreement ensures that the same content is available through the Amadeus system as any other distribution provider.
Bob Kane, Chief Information Officer of Strategic Airlines said that having its fare schedule accessible through Amadeus was key to growing its business in Australia. “As a relatively new airline, it’s imperative that we ensure that our fare schedule can be accessed by as many points of sale as possible. With Amadeus’ reliable, time efficient and easy to manage Selling Platform, we know that travel agents will easily be able to find the fares they need to meet all their customers’ travel requirements.”
Travel agencies in Australia will access Strategic Airlines’ content through Amadeus Selling Platform. Strategic Airlines has selected the highest level of booking connectivity. This brings significant benefits to Amadeus subscribers who are able to book seats with total confidence as they have access to the airlines real-time schedule. Amadeus subscribers can effectively communicate directly with airline’s inventory system when making a booking, receiving instant confirmation.
“Amadeus is pleased to be working with Strategic Airlines in the competitive Australian travel market and hopes this contract will ensure a stable long-term cooperation with the carrier,” said Sari Vahakoski Managing Director, Amadeus Australia. Strategic Airlines will now benefit from our extensive global network of over 90,000 travel agency points of sale that can access the airlines fares and schedules.”
