Aviation analytics business Cirium has agreed to put its flight schedule data into the Amadeus Travel Platform.
"As one of the travel industry’s technology leaders, complete and timely data is essential for Amadeus to deliver high quality information to customers. The new deal means that Cirium’s comprehensive schedules data will be integrated into the Amadeus Travel Platform, benefitting many Amadeus clients in the travel space, including airlines, travel providers and more," the two companies said in a joint statement.
“Combining two leaders in their respective fields in the travel industry, through the expansion of Cirium’s partnership with Amadeus, will further improve flight search and bookings, as well as enable the industry to unlock new market opportunities, maximise revenue and produce a more efficient experience for the traveller," said Cirium chief Jeremy Bowen.
"The expansion of our partnership with Cirium and further integration of its data into our multi-sourced air schedules data platform enriches our dataset and contributes to maintaining a high data accuracy and bookability for our customers," said Sam Abdou, Amadeus executive vice president, air, rail and global online.
Cirium said it covers 97% of scheduled flights globally going back two decades and looking ahead 11 months, while Amadeus already operates a schedule database taking in 900 airlines, it said.
