German railway company Deutsche Bahn’s schedules are to appear alongside airlines on Amadeus.
But a global agreement involving AccesRail and the GDS initially excludes Europe where “local solutions” remain in place, Amadeus said.
Travel agents elsewhere in the world will be able to book and issue German rail tickets without the need for any special agreement with Deutsche Bahn.
Amadeus travel and lesiure managing director Albert Pozo said: “High speed rail links are a competitive alternative to air travel and it is now possible to combine air with rail travel. To encourage rail providers to sell their mcontent internationally they need a solution where their fares and availability are displayed directly alongside air.”
