The extension builds on an existing full content agreement and deepens the partnership between the two companies.

“This agreement furthers our commitment to providing our airline partners with the most efficient, neutral and cost-effective means to reach and partner with travel agencies, and at the same time gives our travel agency subscribers access to the best and widest range of content, ”

The airline’s chief commercial officer, Judith Crompton, said: “We have enjoyed working with Amadeus to help us reach travellers around the world and are pleased to extend our partnership.”
