Air France-KLM to Offer Amadeus’ Cytric Portfolio

Air France-KLM has signed with Amadeus to offer its Cytric portfolio to its direct corporate customers, Amadeus announced.

As part of the agreement, the airline group will incorporate Amadeus technology into its BlueConnect online corporate tool, which enables corporate customers to access “more dynamic and personalized booking options” that adhere to travel policy through the portal, according to Amadeus. Air France-KLM also will be able to offer other options in the Amadeus portfolio to its corporate customers, including Cytric Expense and Cytric Easy, its travel and expense tool embedded in the Microsoft suite of products.

In addition, Amadeus is providing a training and certification process for Air France-KLM, so its teams can help new users implement Cytric, according to Amadeus.

Air France-KLM is the first airline partner to sign with Amadeus to offer the Cytric portfolio to corporate customers. The group “is leading the way in this area, and we hope to see other airlines take similar steps in the near future,” according to Amadeus Cytric Solutions EVP Rudy Daniello.
