Developing sustainability solutions for our customers, and for the travel industry at large, is the most direct way to honor our purpose. By embedding sustainability into the technology that powers travel, we help customers address the key long-term challenges of our industry.
We do this by optimizing the environmental and social performance of travel through our IT solutions. Our technology improves the efficiency of airline and airport operations, lowering emissions and energy use while enabling smoother, more accessible end-to-end journeys. Beyond aviation, our tools help destinations manage visitor flows to support balanced tourism that protects local communities and natural areas.
Through our business intelligence capabilities, we equip travel providers and authorities with the insights needed to improve safety, resilience, and long-term planning.
We further empower informed, inclusive travel choices by offering clear environmental indicators at booking and enabling the exchange of accessibility-related information throughout the journey.
Supports different customers of Amadeus solutions to access relevant sustainability‑related information and options to act, buy offsetting or donate to a local NGO.
Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is one of the key levers for decarbonizing aviation1. SAF can significantly reduce lifecycle carbon emissions compared to conventional jet fuel. The travel industry is investing in SAF production and distribution, with technology companies supporting this transition through strategic investments in SAF innovators and by enabling the integration of SAF data and adoption into booking and reporting systems.
Sustainability in business travel starts with measurement. Corporate travel management platforms can track the carbon footprint of travel programs, provide detailed CO2 reports, and enable employees to compare travel options by emissions. Features like side-by-side flight and rail comparisons; carbon emission filters, carbon compensation including offset and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), helping businesses make more sustainable corporate travel decisions.
Travel Impact Suite is Amadeus’ set of sustainability solutions that help measure, understand, compare, and reduce the environmental impact of travel by providing emissions data and compensation options across air, hotel, rail, and car. This allows travel providers, sellers and travelers to see and compare the emissions associated with their choices, identify more sustainable alternatives, and, where relevant, take action to compensate part or all of the remaining impact. The suite is delivered through three complementary components—Data Hub, Explorer, and Booster.
Technology can help to ensure that anybody that wishes to travel can do so and have the best experience possible, regardless of their accessibility needs. For instance we are helping airports improve their customer service with self-service check-in devices and biometric technologies that meet the high accessibility standards set by international bodies. We’ve adopted design considerations that improve accessibility, including clear signage and instructions, cameras that can capture people at varying heights, and sufficient space for wheelchair users.
ForwardKeys Destination Gateway helps manage overtourism by giving destinations a forward-looking, data-driven view of visitor demand and flows. By combining arrival forecasts, seasonality trends and traveler profiles in easy-to-use dashboards, it enables tourism boards to anticipate pressure points, spread demand across periods and locations, and take targeted actions to balance tourism before overcrowding occurs.
