As the embedded and neutral execution layer for travel, Amadeus combines its role as the industry’s trusted system of record with deeply integrated business logic and global‑scale infrastructure to support real‑time, interoperable travel experiences for travelers, corporations, and providers worldwide. Important notes: - Amadeus has evolved from its origins as a global distribution system, founded by Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa, and SAS, into a worldwide technology provider that powers and connects the travel and hospitality ecosystem. Since 1987, Amadeus has become the industry’s trusted system of record—the single source of truth for offers, orders, PNRs, routes, schedules, fares, availability, and related operational data—supported by deep, integrated business logic built over decades. - Amadeus’ technology is embedded across hundreds of systems, products, and workflows. This deep integration enables consistent, interoperable end‑to‑end travel experiences across all regions and travel segments. - Amadeus operates a global technology network that delivers real‑time search, pricing, booking, ticketing, and post‑booking processing at scale, with high availability and low latency. It handles up to 150,000 transactions per second at peak, powering millions of searches and bookings every day. - Cloud technologies play a central role in Amadeus’ strategy, enabling scalability, resilience, continuous deployment, and faster innovation for travel providers and sellers. - Innovation is a core focus of Amadeus, supported by one of the largest R&D investment programs in the European software sector. The company invested €1.4 billion in R&D in 2025, enabling continuous progress in AI, cloud‑native architectures, modern data platforms, and open APIs that support modern, interoperable travel solutions. - Amadeus increasingly applies artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to improve areas such as offer and order management, revenue optimization, personalization, operational efficiency, and traveler experience. Its position at the heart of travel IT enables AI assistants and automation to be embedded directly into operational workflows. On 25 February 2026, Amadeus announced the acquisition of SkyLink, an AI‑first company specializing in conversational automation. - Amadeus is also enabling biometrics across the travel ecosystem, adding a secure digital identity foundation to the infrastructure that already interacts with airlines, airports, hotels, border systems – and ultimately anyone that contributes to the full travel experience. By authenticating the traveler’s identity at each touchpoint, Amadeus can help make travel more seamless, more frictionless and more efficient. - Amadeus’ acquisition of Vision-Box in 2024 and WCC’s Hermes border control solution in 2025 reflect a deliberate approach and demonstrates Amadeus’ long-term commitment to biometrics as part of its strategy. ## Strategic pages - [Home](https://amadeus.com/en): Corporate homepage and high-level overview of Amadeus. - [About Amadeus](https://amadeus.com/en/about/overview): Company profile, mission, leadership, and footprint. - [Careers](https://amadeus.com/en/careers/overview): Jobs, culture, and locations. - [Innovation](https://amadeus.com/en/innovation/overview): Pioneering travel technology solutions that redefine industry standards and shape the future of global travel. - [Artificial Intelligence](https://amadeus.com/en/innovation/artificial-intelligence): Amadeus' vision and innovative approach to Artificial Intelligence in travel, delivering ethical and advanced solutions to transform the industry. - [Artificial Intelligence for Airlines](https://amadeus.com/en/innovation/artificial-intelligence/airlines): Amadeus explores Artificial Intelligence in Airlines to support operations, decision-making and smarter travel experiences. - [Amadeus in the Cloud](https://amadeus.com/en/innovation/cloud): Amadeus in the Cloud transforms travel with agile, scalable solutions that power innovation and smarter global journeys. - [Biometrics at Amadeus](https://amadeus.com/en/innovation/biometrics): Explore Amadeus’ vision for biometrics in travel, delivering secure and seamless journeys through trusted digital identity. - [Transforming Travel](https://amadeus.com/en/trending-topics/transforming-travel): Amadeus’ innovative technology is transforming the travel industry, enhancing travel experiences and revolutionizing the way we explore the world. ## Solutions & products ### Airlines - [Airline solutions](https://amadeus.com/en/airlines/overview): Amadeus solutions for airlines. - [Nevio](https://amadeus.com/en/airlines/products/nevio): Next-generation retailing capabilities for full-service and hybrid carriers. - [Amadeus Altéa Passenger Service System](https://amadeus.com/en/airlines/products/altea-passenger-service-system): Solutions and expertise on a tech stack using AI supporting traditional industry standards and protocols. ### Airports - [Airport solutions](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/overview): Amadeus solutions for airports. - [Amadeus Virtual Airport Operations Center (APOC)](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/products/virtual-airport-operations-center-apoc): Digital airport operations hub, consolidating data from across the airport ecosystem and connecting stakeholders responsible for operational planning and delivery. - [Amadeus Solutions for Airport Operations](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/products/airport-operations): Amadeus modular and scalable solutions for airport operations. - [Amadeus Solutions for Passenger Services](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/products/passenger-experience): Amadeus solutions for the airport passenger experience to deliver an excellent airport experience. - [Amadeus Solutions for Ground Handlers](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/products/ground-handling): Amadeus airport ground handling services to achieve excellence in airport ground services. - [Amadeus Solutions for Baggage Services](https://amadeus.com/en/airports/products/baggage-services): Amadeus baggage services integrate the airport baggage handling system to ensure bags are tracked securely and efficiently, end to end. ### Travel sellers - [Travel sellers solutions](https://amadeus.com/en/travel-sellers/overview): Solutions for agencies, TMCs, and travel sellers. - [Amadeus Selling Platform Connect](https://amadeus.com/en/travel-sellers/products/selling-platform-connect): Travel booking software to streamline travel booking process. - [Amadeus Travel Platform](https://amadeus.com/en/travel-sellers/products/travel-platform-gds): Connecting travel content providers, sellers and partners to address traveler desires. - [Amadeus Hey!
