Amadeus recently renewed its agreement with Al Tayyar Travel Group to serve as its primary global distribution system (GDS) in Saudi Arabia. Under the partnership, Al Tayyar will continue to have access to Amadeus’ content.
Using the Amadeus system, Al Tayyar will also benefit from Amadeus’ 10-year distribution agreement with 13 airlines from the Arab Air Carriers Organisation (AACO), and with Saudi Airlines in particular.
Naser Bin Aqeel Al Tayyar, group president and managing director, Al Tayyar Travel Group, said: “Fuelled by the fast-growing economy, the government of Saudi Arabia has placed top priority on mobilizing a solid Saudi workforce. The figures also indicate the need to develop robust skill sets that will serve the booming travel and tourism industry. Through our partnership with Amadeus, we aim to educate the Saudi youth and drive nationals to seek employment in the travel industry.”
