Platinum Partner
Amadeus is at the heart of the global travel industry. Our people, our technology and our innovation are dedicated to working with our customers and partners to shape the future of travel.

Our ambition is to facilitate the entire travel journey from door-to-door, in the process improving the travel experience for over a billion people every year: from initial search to making a booking, from pricing to ticketing, from managing reservations to managing check-in and departure processes.
Operating in 195 countries through a network of 71 Amadeus Commercial Offices (ACOs), Amadeus has a worldwide team of more than 12,000 people and keeps the travel sector moving by connecting key players: travel agencies, corporations, airlines, airports, ground handlers, hotels, railways and more.

In 2014 over 500 million travel bookings were made via the Amadeus Selling Platform, including 40.7% of all travel agency air bookings made globally. Meanwhile almost 700 million passengers boarded airplanes using the Amadeus Altéa solution during 2014; we estimate that this will increase to close to one billion by 2017, based upon contracts signed for airlines to migrate to our system.
Amongst many others, we are the preferred technology provider and partner of world-leading travel companies such as British Airways, Qantas, Lufthansa, Finnair, Iberia, InterContinental Hotels Group, AMEX, Carlson Wagonlit, and TUI.

At the heart of our approach is our innovative technology. We invested around €3.5 billion in R&D between 2004 and 2014, making us 2014´s leading European investor in R&D for the travel and tourism sector, according to the EU Industrial R&D Investment Scoreboard. For example, the Amadeus Data Centre in Erding, Germany, is one of the largest civil data centres worldwide fully dedicated to travel. In peak times it processes more than 27,000 end user transactions per second.

The group operates a transaction-based business model, which allows our customers to convert certain fixed technology costs into variable costs that vary with passenger volumes; it also links our revenue to global travel volumes rather than travel spending, thus reducing the volatility of our operating results.

Amadeus is listed on the Spanish Stock Exchange and is a component of the IBEX 35 index. For the year ended December 31, 2014 the company reported revenues of €3,417.7 million and an EBITDA of €1,306.0 million.
