“In renewing our successful long-term relationship with Amadeus, we are confident that Key Travel is well positioned for the future as we scale geographically and accelerate our sales development.”

Amadeus UK and Ireland managing director, Champa Magesh, said: “We are delighted to be extending our decade-long partnership with Key Travel across international markets, particularly in the USA where we are both experiencing rapid growth.

“We have agreed a roadmap that is designed to meet the needs of Key Travel’s specialist customers by providing the flexibility and dynamism they require in a changing market.”

She added: “The best part of Amadeus’ 30 years of innovation in travel technology is working with TMCs that are receptive to new ideas and the technologies that bring them to life.

“That’s why we are genuinely excited about Key Travel’s future plans and we are thrilled to be playing an integral part in the company’s ongoing success story.”
