Amadeus has signed up Royal Air Morocco on a ten year deal that will see the GDS become an exclusive distribution partner to the airline in home markets.
The national carrier is the 13th member of the Arab Air Carriers Organisation (AACO) to sign to the travel technology company and these airlines make up 68% of reservations made by travel agents in the region.
Amadeus’ vice president global sales development EMEA and LA Julia Sattel said: “This additional strategic deal is further proof of our commitment to provide the content of Royal Air Maroc to travel agencies. Our infrastructure, recently enhanced with our highly specialised Regional Hub for the MENA region in Dubai, and our continued investment ensures we can deliver best on-the-ground support, to enable further growth for RAM and bring the best service, content and the very latest technology to the region’s travel agent communityâ€
