Air Arabia signs group-level distribution agreement with Amadeus
Air Arabia, the Middle East and North Africa’s first and largest budget carrier operator, has signed a distribution agreement with travel technology leader Amadeus, further expanding the airline’s growth and expanding its global distribution reach. The agreement will enable the airline to extend its presence across Amadeus’ global travel seller network, enabling travel partners to serve Air Arabia’s customers through established workflows.
The agreement is based on a light ticketing model, allowing travel sellers to book and manage budget carrier content using standard GDS workflows, connecting directly with airline systems in real time. This will allow travel sellers to access and book Air Arabia content within the Amadeus environment, on the same screen as the rest of the content they manage.
Air Arabia is the largest budget carrier operator in the Middle East and North Africa, flying more than 20 million passengers annually. Serving more than 200 routes, the airline operates from six strategic hubs located across the United Arab Emirates (Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah), Morocco, Egypt and Pakistan.
