Thomas Cook: building impressive growth through key partnerships

Norwegian is a low-cost, long haul carrier with a forward-looking growth strategy.  Its international expansion has stimulated customer demand – they’ve opened up many new routes including long haul destinations for cost-conscious travelers. Norwegian’s success has led to increased capacity which has offered us new opportunities for growth and allowed us to expand our portfolio. We can offer our existing customers appealing new destinations at lower fares, and also help us attract new traffic. 

Low cost carriers’ (LCCs) content is very important for our business and we count on the Amadeus Travel Platform  to access quickly and easily the most relevant offers to create targeted travel packages. We’ve been working with Amadeus for many years now and we continue relying on its automated solutions to integrate all this extra content while simplifying and accelerating our operations. 

We are delighted that over the last three years, we’ve seen more than 100% increase in Norwegian’s bookings which perfectly mirrors Norwegian’s growth in Amadeus. A real symbiotic relationship!

In this current competitive climate, it’s critical for us to differentiate and maintain our edge by delivering new, exciting products quickly and Amadeus helps us do just this. When it comes to selling online, Thomas Cook counts on Amadeus technology to provide extremely fast response times to improve the user experience and boost conversion. The Amadeus Travel Platform  automates tedious, repetitive and time consuming tasks so our agents can focus more on servicing the customers and growing the business. 

As Norwegian’s growth continues, and Amadeus evolves its Travel Platform  to give us more management over our content preferences, we look to continuing and growing our partnerships with Amadeus and airlines like Norwegian to benefit not only us, but more importantly for the travelers we all serve.
