AUSTRALIAN travel tech firm Aeronology has gone live with a link to the Amadeus GDS platform, with the move described as a “significant development for Amadeus users”.
Aeronology CEO Russell Carstensen said Amadeus was now embedded into the firm’s ‘middleware’ offering, giving Amadeus users “a simple, web-based user interface that is intuitive, fast, dynamic and easy to use”.
“The wait has been well worth it; building a multi-content and air distribution booking engine that anyone can use is extremely difficult,” he said.
“We believe Aeronology has created a world class product, especially when the engine can be installed within days of Amadeus webservices access.”
Carstensen said the system was so easy to use that some of Aeronology’s TMC customers were planning to give access to the tool for their corporate/government and education customers to use, with no impact on the fees charged, while lowering the cost of sale for the travel management company.
“Aeronology’s application fills that void between a corporate booking tool and a native GDS…it allows the user to do up to 90% of the requirements without calling their TMC,” he said.
The development is particularly relevant given the massive skills shortage currently being experienced across the industry.
“The travel industry is losing skillsets and a travel advisor is now needing to be multi-GDS trained, whereas Aeronology provides a world class online multi-air distribution booking engine for everyone to use.”
