British Airways becomes the first airline to sign for Amadeus’ new revenue accounting solution

 

 

 

 

 

"The removal of paper documents from the passenger distribution process provides the opportunity to bring revenue accounting closer to the operational functions. We have been looking for a passenger revenue accounting system that takes maximum advantage of this opportunity, and the solution agreed will be delivered in partnership with Amadeus”, explained Gyorgyi Szantner, Head of Finance Services, British Airways.

“We believe it will enable us to transform passenger revenue accounting from a 'back office' function to a 'front-end' activity, providing real-time visibility across the airline including our operational colleagues on how well the airline is performing”, she added.

Christophe Bousquet, VP, Development, Amadeus, commented: “This strategic partnership with British Airways demonstrates that we both share the same vision for a next-generation passenger revenue accounting solution. Our passenger revenue accounting system is built using modern technology and embraces the latest industry standards. It allows for real-time acquisition, reporting and accounting thanks to its unique integration with airline operational systems. Accuracy and productivity are both increased and essentially, this new Amadeus solution enables airlines to know their revenues as soon as the plane doors close”.

 

 

Amadeus’ Passenger Revenue Accounting solution responds to the airline industry’s requirements for a fully integrated, fully scalable, paperless solution that is adaptable to support partnership agreements such as alliances, joint ventures and mergers, whilst complying with new market or industry trends such as electronic miscellaneous documents or simplified interline settlement.

As the latest addition to Amadeus’ rich portfolio of airline IT products, Amadeus Passenger Revenue Accounting demonstrates the organization’s ability to supplement the core Altéa suite with value-added IT solutions. Amadeus Passenger Revenue Accounting is available to all airlines wishing to implement a new passenger revenue accounting solution, and can be integrated with the rest of their passenger services applications. For more information about Amadeus Passenger Revenue Accounting, please visit the Amadeus Airline IT website.
