Nile Air, one of the largest private schedule airline in Egypt, has extended its contract with travel industry technology partner Amadeus to expand the scope of the airline's IT services.

The airline is now the first in the Middle East to use Amadeus’ complete Airline IT portfolio, which provides end-to-end IT solutions for carriers of all sizes, including small to mid-size airlines.

Apart from Amadeus’ complete Altéa Suite and the Amadeus Digital Solutions, Nile Air has now gained access to four key new features — revenue management, revenue accounting, mobile web and loyalty management — that will boost operational efficiency and save the airline money:

• Altéa Segment Revenue Management tool will give Nile Air recommendations on the best price and packaging for flights and allow the airline to apply dynamic pricing, fare families and ancillary services to better package their fare offers.

• With Amadeus Revenue Accounting solution’s real-time transactional model, Nile Air can track all passenger sales revenues as they happen to increase productivity and data accuracy.

• The Amadeus Loyalty Management system helps Nile Air personalize offers so that they can retain loyal passengers and boost revenues.
    
• Finally, Amadeus Mobile Web solution ensures that Nile Air’s website is mobile friendly so the airline can achieve brand consistency, smooth customer service and accuracy on all digital platforms.

The new multi-year agreement gives Nile Air access to a fully integrated IT system with instant communication, so the airline can make revenue decisions in real time. The system is also scalable, which allows Nile Air to quickly respond to the needs of a growing airline.

“Successful airlines need to be top-of-mind for passengers and travel agents at the time of booking. With the Amadeus Airline IT portfolio, we are able to improve our operational efficiency and offer a differentiated experience to all of our customers whether travelling internationally or domestically, for business or leisure,” said Ahmed Aly, the CEO of Nile Air.
