Amadeus and United Airlines have signed an enhanced distribution agreement that will offer a wide range of content through the Amadeus Travel Platform. 

Both New Distribution Capability (NDC) and EDIFACT content are included in the partnership, giving travel sellers a wide range of flights and fares in the United States and around the world. This will enable them to create personalized trips for travelers. 

United looks forward to deepening its collaboration with Amadeus.

“Amadeus has been a vital distribution partner in the deployment of NDC, and we are delighted to accelerate that journey today,” said Kurt Van Meir, Managing Director, Distribution, United Airlines. At United Airlines, we look forward to deepening our collaboration with Amadeus as we work together to create an enhanced shopping experience for travelers across every channel.”

Amadeus noted the vital role NDC content plays in crafting travel itineraries.

“Our approach to delivering airline content combines technology, innovation and traveler centric solutions to enable travel sellers to offer the right journeys to meet each traveler’s specific needs, all with a seamless shopping, booking and servicing experience.  Of course, NDC content and capabilities play a vital role in making this possible,” said Kamal Singhee, Senior Vice President, Airlines, North America at Amadeus. Building upon our longstanding relationship with United Airlines will enable travel sellers to provide the full benefits of NDC content and technology to travelers in the United States and around the world.”
