ATS Travel, a leading travel management company in the UAE, has selected Amadeus as a long-term strategic partner to provide comprehensive travel solutions to corporate and individual travellers around the world.

The two companies have signed a six-year agreement that will enable ATS to continue to deliver the best value to its customers in a price-sensitive market where digital technology is helping to fuel business growth.

Through its alignment with Amadeus, ATS will focus on automation of the company’s digital processes, using platforms such as Amadeus Touchless Suite to streamline operations and increase efficiency. This will enable ATS to deliver best-in-class services to its customers, bolstering its position as a top travel management company with offices in Saudi Arabia, India, China, Philippines and Indonesia.

Saleem Sharif, deputy managing director of ATS Travel, said: “We believe that technology is the key to realizing our aspirations of becoming a complete online travel suite with the capacity to serve all channels, including business to business, business to consumer, and more. Working with Amadeus will provide us with the tools to build towards our goals, and we are very pleased to expand our partnership with them in the years ahead.”

Founded in 1977 and one of the first Iata-accredited companies in the UAE, ATS has grown to become a regional player in travel management.

Graham Nichols, managing director, Amadeus, said: “Having worked with ATS Travel, we have seen firsthand how our partnership has enabled the company to optimise its operations in order to provide more value to customers in the UAE and beyond. Through our extended partnership, we will continue to support ATS Travel in realizing its business goals and facing the challenges of tomorrow.” - TradeArabia News Service
