Online represents 14% of Amadeus total bookings
Amadeus saw sales rise by almost 23% to more than 1.3 billion euros in the first half of the year.
The technology and distribution company saw total bookings rise by 5.5% year-on-year to 263.9 million.
Online bookings grew by 22.7% and now represent almost 14% of the total.
Amadeus claimed a 30.5% worldwide market share in travel agency air bookings, up 1.3 percentage points. But it did not provide profit figures for the six month period ending June 30.
The company, owned by WAM Acquisition with shareholders including BC Partners, Cinvin, Air France, Iberia and Lufthansa, pledged to invest 300 million euros a year in its technological infrastructure and development.
President and CEO Jose Antonio Tazon said: “We continue to drive the transition of our GDS system architecture to open systems based on Unix and Linux, which will deliver two fundamental benefits to our customers. It will keep costs under control as transaction volumes increase exponentially – each day our datacentre already processes 310 million customer queries.
“Second, open technology is already allowing us to bring new services and solutions to the market more quickly. As the outsourcing partner for some of the biggest names in travel, our time-to-market is their time-to-market.”
