Mongolian Airlines to Adopt Amadeus Suite of Advanced Technology Solutions

Newly launched Mongolian Airlines Group, a full service domestic and regional carrier, has signed a major technology agreement with Amadeus.

Mongolian has selected the Amadeus Altéa Customer Management Solution to automate its entire customer management process, including booking, ticketing, airport check-in and departure control, while enhancing the overall customer experience.

The airline will also use Amadeus e-Retail, an online global booking solution, to power sales through its website, enabling travellers around the world to book Mongolian Airlines flights.

Additionally, Mongolian Airlines Group and Amadeus signed a global distribution agreement that will enable the airline’s flight schedule, fares and availability to be viewed and booked via the Amadeus Selling Platform to a global network of over 91,000 travel agents.

Speaking about the agreement, Byambajav Margad, Vice-President of Policy and Strategic Planning, Mongolian Airlines Group said, “As the leading provider of technology solutions to airlines, Amadeus was the ideal choice for Mongolian Airlines. Having Amadeus as our technology partner will give us the same technology as used by leading global airlines, allowing us to easily partner with other carriers on the Altéa platform. Amadeus will ensure that our flight services are available to the global aviation and travel network, supporting our future airline partnerships and helping to establish Mongolian Airlines Group as the leading airline for travel to and from Mongolia.”

Incorporated in September 2011, Mongolian Airlines Group (MR) is a new full service airline. On 2 January 2012, the first domestic flights commenced with two Fokker 50 aircraft servicing eight main destinations within Mongolia.
