Fiji Airways, Fiji’s National Airline, has
signed a contract with Amadeus that ensures travel agencies in the
Pacific and around the world can search and book the full range of
Fiji Airways fares.
Amadeus-connected travel agents now have access
to the same range of air fares that Fiji Airways offers through
all its sales channels.
Stefan Pichler, Managing Director & CEO, Fiji
Airways said that Amadeus’ extensive global travel agency network
covering 195 countries made them an ideal distribution partner.
“We want to put Fiji on the global map. We have
to make sure that our growing network and our attractive fares are
available everywhere around the globe for sale. We’re confident
this new deal with the global reservation system Amadeus will
boost our worldwide sales, which is a key component of our five
year growth plan,” Stefan said.
Amadeus plays a critical role in the
distribution space with 39.9% global market share of travel agency
air bookings. Over 85% of Amadeus bookings worldwide are made on
airlines with which Amadeus has a content agreement.
Hazem Hussein, EVP, Airline Commercial, Amadeus
Asia Pacific added, “The travel agency sales channel has never
been more crucial in today’s competitive aviation landscape,
especially for destination markets like Fiji. We are privileged to
support Fiji Airways in their strong growth strategy.”
