Ryanair has renewed its agreement with Navitaire, an Amadeus company. Under the terms of the contract, Ryanair will use the firm’s advanced ancillary and reservations solution including merchandizing, distribution, digital and departure control platforms until 2025, which will represent 25 years of collaboration between Ryanair and Navitaire.
John Hurley, Ryanair CTO said: “Our partnership with Navitaire has helped us achieve consistent double-digit growth and higher profitability, enabling more customers to travel than ever before. Navitaire understands what’s important for our success, and offers the solutions we need to let us easily create ever-improving digital tools, ancillary services, powerful personalization capabilities and customer service enhancements to fulfill our upcoming growth plans.”
David P. Evans, Navitaire CEO, said “From the advent of ecommerce and retailing, Navitaire and Ryanair have long been recognized as visionaries and innovators driving strong business results. Just as Ryanair has defined and transformed low-cost travel, our New Skies platform was built to extend well beyond the boundaries of traditional passenger service system norms. It’s been an honor to support Ryanair’s growth from five million annual passengers when we started working together to achieve the stellar growth they enjoy today, and we look forward to helping them reach the 200 million target in the future.”
