Acquisition of AirIt Services to grow in US airport market
The operation is part of the strategy with which the company headed by Luis Maroto plans to diversify its business: hotels, railways, airports, travel intelligence, payments and new media...
With this purchase, Amadeus strengthens its airport solutions in the US, a key region in this market where it had little presence. AirIT solutions are used by 30 of the 50 busiest airports in the US, including Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Charlotte.
"Already in 2014 Amadeus bought UFIS Airport Solutions, headquartered in Singapore, which provides services at airports around the world, especially in Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and now wants to strengthen its presence in the US," says Diego Gutierrez of Abra-Invest.

Amadeus acquires Itesso to expand its hotel offering
Itesso BVm is a provider of cloud-based property management systems (PMS) based in the Netherlands.
Amadeus has already acquired US-based group and event specialist Newmarket in 2013 to grow the hotel supply market, and is also working with InterContinental Hotel Group to develop a next-generation guest reservation system (GRS) in this area.
The agreement with Itesso brings it closer to its goal of unifying centralised reservation systems (CRS), property management systems (PMS), revenue management systems (RMS), sales and catering and other systems into a cloud-based community model platform that focuses entirely on the guest experience.
Amadeus buys Navitaire
Amadeus has acquired its subsidiary from Accenture Navitaire for 750M, which provides solutions that enable airlines to generate revenue and rationalise costs in the areas of reservations, add-on sales, customer loyalty programmes, revenue management and accounting, and business intelligence.
