What is Amadeus GDS and Why is it Crucial?
Imagine a central hub connecting travel agencies worldwide to a vast network of travel providers. That’s essentially what a Global Distribution System (GDS) is. Unlike a Computer Reservation System (CRS), which individual airlines or some large travel agencies use internally, Amadeus GDS acts as a powerful intermediary, linking airlines, hotels, car rental companies, and train operators to travel professionals globally.
Through Amadeus GDS, you can:
- Check real-time availability of flights, accommodations, and other travel services.
- Make and manage bookings efficiently.
- Handle special service requests for passengers.
- Select seats for travelers.
- Issue, reissue, and refund tickets.
- Effectively manage queues and passenger flow.
With its headquarters in Madrid, Spain, Amadeus is the essential software tool that empowers travel agents to create smooth and efficient travel arrangements for flights, hotels, cars, and trains across the globe.
