Built around IATA Offer and Order principles, this totally new, open, modular platform benefits from the latest advances in AI and will help the carrier build demand, differentiate itself in the market, and drive value across its entire business at speed.

Maher Koubaa, executive vice president of the travel unit and managing director of EMEA, Amadeus, said: “We see Amadeus’ partnership with British Airways as truly transformative.

“We’ve been working closely with British Airways for more than 20 years and we’re delighted that the airline has once again agreed to be a driver customer to shape the future of the aviation industry.

“The milestone partnership unveiled today is a significant step in our journey to making modern retailing a reality, with the deployment of rich, dynamic, personalized offers and next-generation order management.”

Amadeus’ partnership with British Airways showcases a commitment to support an ambition on the part of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to create a wholly offer-and-order-based retailing environment by 2030.

The open platform technology being developed by Amadeus enables the airline to be innovative in its approach to retailing and revenue opportunities and is designed to grow with the airline’s business ambitions.

Colm Lacy, British Airways chief commercial officer, said: “At British Airways, we are on a journey to become a world leader in airline retailing and transform our digital customer experience, all underpinned by our £7 billion investment to transform our airline.

“Alongside our partners at Amadeus, British Airways will be able to collaborate on the design of the latest technology to enhance our business processes with greater agility, and help us anticipate the needs of modern, digital travellers, providing them with exceptional experiences across their journey.”
