LONDON (Alliance News) - Ryanair Holdings PLC Wednesday said it has struck a new global distribution system partnership with travel industry technology company Amadeus IT Group SA.
Under the deal, Amadeus-affiliated travel agents in Europe will be able to access Ryanair's fares and its European network.
Ryanair said the deal has been agreed following the August launch of its Ryanair Business Plus service and said the Amadeus partnership should further strengthen this offering.
"Ryanair is pleased to partner with Amadeus whose technology represents a significant opportunity for us to reach a wider range of business and corporate customers," said Ryanair Chief Executive Officer Michael O'Leary.
"For business travellers, corporations and TMCs, this agreement will mean greater access to our low fares and Europe's largest route network," O'Leary added.
Ryanair shares were trading 0.1% higher at 7.182 pence per share on Wednesday.
