California-based Virgin America has signed a
three-year distribution agreement with Amadeus which will bring full
content to Amadeus users worldwide and enable the airline to extend its
reach.
Amadeus users can now access and book fares and
inventory that Virgin America makes available to the public
through its internal reservation system and its consumer website,
as well as through third-party sites.
“Amadeus and Virgin
America are both known for providing the best value to savvy
travelers, so we’re pleased to announce this partnership and to
give Amadeus customers the chance to experience our award-winning
and unique low-fare service,” said Diana Walke, Vice President for
Planning and Sales at Virgin America. “Amadeus is a trusted and
important distribution channel that will help us reach new
customers as we continue to grow.”

touch-screen Red platform which allows guests to control their
own in-flight experience. Red offers an on-demand food menu, live
TV, movies, seat-to-seat chat, thousands of MP3s, videogames, and
more. Already on 13 aircraft, by the second quarter of 2009,
Virgin America will be the first U.S. airline to offer in-flight
internet on every flight.
