Sounds Air to Enhance Global Distribution with Amadeus Travel Platform

(15 June 2022, 12:16 +07)  New Zealand’s Blenheim-based carrier Sounds Air is to make its content available to travel sellers across the world through the Amadeus Travel Platform.

Sounds Air is hosted by the Takeflite Solutions passenger service system and this development is a result of a new partnership between Amadeus and Takeflite that provides enhanced global distribution options to regional airlines.

The development means that TMCs, corporations, tour operators, retail travel agencies, online travel agencies and metasearch players that are connected through the Amadeus Travel Platform will be able to search, book and service reservations on Sounds Air.

Using their preferred Amadeus interface, they will gain access to the airline’s flight schedules, load changes, seat maps and fare families as well as real-time flight updates.

“We are excited to work with Sounds Air and honored to be selected as the carrier’s first travel distribution partner,” said Lance Batty, Director, Airlines, Pacific, Amadeus. “We look forward to supporting the carrier’s growth as travel rebuilds with premium technology.”

From a single Cessna Caravan operating one route across the Cook Straight, Sounds Air has grown in 34 years in New Zealand. Today it operates across major cities with scheduled flights between Blenheim, Christchurch, Nelson, Paraparaumu, Picton, Taupo, Wanaka, Wellington and Westport.

Sounds Air is on a journey to ‘Zero Emission’ flight and has aspirations to be the first ‘Zero Emission’ carrier in Australasia by 2030.

“Amadeus facilitates the sales and distribution of travel on a global scale, connecting travel providers with travel sellers, and we see great value in having our content on the Amadeus Travel Platform,” said Andrew Crawford, CEO, Sounds Air. “Amadeus will be implementing Sounds Air content with end-to-end integration, which will bring back-office benefits for sellers and ease the utilization of the agency online booking tool to book flights for our airline.”
