Biman Bangladesh Airlines has signed a new deal that will see its fares distributed to the travel trade via the Amadeus GDS.
The agreement covers the airline’s full range of both domestic and international fares, under the same conditions that it distributes to all other third party channels.
“Tourism is taking off in Bangladesh and with 2016 earmarked as the ‘Year of Tourism’ for the country. We are looking forward to enabling more travellers to visit our shores,” said a spokesperson for Biman. “Our agreement with Amadeus means more travel agents, and therefore more travellers, now have access to our seats and fares and can easily book their travel to, and within, Bangladesh.”
Hazem Hussein, executive vice president of airline commercial for Amadeus Asia Pacific, added, “This is a very significant partnership for Amadeus as we continue to expand our airline distribution network in Asia. We have worked with Biman Airlines Bangladesh for a number of years and are pleased to take our partnership to the next level. Bangladesh was recently named one of the ‘Next Eleven’ emerging markets, so this agreement could not have been more timely. Amadeus is committed to continue bringing the best airline content to our travel agents.”
Biman Bangladesh Airlines joins more than 470 airlines whose content is currently available on the Amadeus system. The Amadeus GDS now accounts for more than 40% of travel agency air bookings.
