OAG is now providing Amadeus with a daily
transmission of schedule data files, which is then used globally
by Amadeus-served travel management companies, travel websites,
and agencies.
“Amadeus is the first global distribution system
to use a daily OAG schedule feed,” said John Grant, EVP Networks
of UBM Aviation, parent company of OAG. “This enables travel
agents and their customers to access more accurate information
when they’re looking to book a flight – a major competitive
advantage for any global distribution system.”
The OAG database contains schedules for over
1,000 airlines and over 4,000 airports. The database tracks over
28 million departures a year ahead. This data is updated
continuously, and OAG processes up to 50,000 airline
schedule-change messages per day.
“Airlines change their flight schedules to
enhance margins, meet market demand, and seize competitive
advantage and it is key that this information is made available
quickly to travel agencies,” said David Doctor, Director
Distribution Marketing, Amadeus. “With this new agreement, we can
ensure that, for airlines which file their information in OAG,
schedule changes are processed and new flights proposed for sale,
immediately on the day.”
Approximately one third of the flight schedules
in the Amadeus system are based on OAG´s data.
Airlines can also
update their schedules directly in the Amadeus system.
