Achieving an electronic milestone with Amadeus!

With less than two weeks to go, we will be entering into a new exciting ticketless era. As a key IATA partner, Amadeus has embraced the 100% electronic challenge and is proud to be a pioneer in ushering in this latest technology trend. In Hong Kong, we do our every endeavor to make this happen by working closely with all travel industry partners to ensure this transition is as smooth and seamless as possible.

In this regard, Amadeus is pleased to share with you, what we call our two technology innovations which will quite literally make the process of travel hassle free and seamless:

Amadeus E-Ticketing

Amadeus is the industry leader in the number of airlines implemented, markets deployed and interlines activated. This represents the largest community of carriers and markets using electronic ticketing around the world. The Amadeus technology helps travel agents to boost your profits, productivity and efficiency by offering a secure and reliable e-ticketing management solution.

Amadeus Virtual MCO (VMCO)

This product is the very first GDS solution validated by IATA. Amadeus travel agents worldwide will have the possibility to use the Amadeus Virtual MCO products at the beginning of June 2008. Globally, Hong Kong has been chosen as one of the pilot markets for Amadeus VMCO. Through support from major carriers, travel agency partners and IATA, we have completed the required testing successfully and are now ready to launch. VMCO brings along with it a wide array of benefits for both airlines as well as travel agents which will doubtless make the experience of travel for the end consumer a pleasurable one.

Amadeus, a leading global technology and distribution partner to the travel industry, welcomes the ticketless and paper free era and is proud to jointly offer you its technology solutions together with our travel industry partners.
