Copenhagen Airports and Amadeus sign strategic partnership

Amadeus will provide Copenhagen Airports cloud-based technology solutions to boost both customer experience and operations protocol

Nine Amadeus solutions will replace the currently used Air Traffic System, to simplify IT systems and improve operational efficiency in all areas of service. The IT solutions help CA meet the strategic objectives for each sector.

Christian Poulsen, vice-president of Assets & Technology at Copenhagen Airports, declared:

“We have an ambitious vision to become a world-class hub for Northern Europe. Our objective is to grow from 25 to 40 million passengers per year, and as a part of this focus we are optimising our infrastructure to better help our airline partners to serve the increasing number of international routes and operations. We have chosen Amadeus as a strategic partner. Amadeus has the proven experience and leading cloud capabilities to deliver an operational traffic IT solution which will enable us to meet our goals whilst in parallel ensuring we keep our focus on continued innovation.”

John Jarrell, Head of Airport IT at Amadeus, responded:

“We look forward to helping Copenhagen harness the power of the cloud through this landmark agreement. Airports around the world are considering how new approaches to technology can help increase capacity, efficiency, the passenger experience and open new revenue streams, whilst also delivering more competitive services to their airline customers. With the on-going air traffic capacity constraints that exist in Europe we are seeing a shift in the industry as airport operators such as Copenhagen Airports, a company consistently recognised for its efficiency and emphasis on innovation, take advantage of the benefits of the cloud.”

The latest agreement comes in addition to the Amadeus Airport Fixed Resource Management Solution (RMS) that Copenhagen Airports uses since last year.
