Amadeus Sees Q1 Profit Rise Amid Global Travel Uncertainty
Amadeus has reported strong first-quarter 2025 results, highlighting double-digit profit growth despite ongoing global uncertainty. Group revenue rose 9% year over year to €1.6 billion, while operating income increased by 10% to €462 million. Net profit climbed 13% to €355 million, and adjusted EBITDA rose 8% to €628 million.
President and CEO Luis Maroto said the company is “well prepared for 2025” and credited Amadeus’ resilience and growth to its diversified global footprint and commercial performance, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
Amadeus’ air distribution segment generated €821 million in revenue, up 8% year over year. The growth was driven by a 2.5% increase in bookings and a 5% improvement in revenue per booking. Bookings in the Asia-Pacific market alone grew 10%.
The air IT solutions business also performed well, with revenue rising 11% to €511 million in Q1. Meanwhile, Amadeus’ hospitality segment saw 11% growth, generating €260 million in revenue, supported by higher transaction volumes and new customer implementations.
Regarding Sabre’s sale of its hospitality division, Paco Pérez-Lozao Rüter, president of Amadeus Hospitality, said no short-term impact is expected. He emphasized Amadeus’ scale and dominance, citing major clients like Marriott and Accor.
Maroto added that the full impact from Marriott’s IT migration will be felt later this year and into 2026, while Accor’s migration will contribute more significantly in 2026 and 2027. Amadeus expects hospitality revenue acceleration in the second half of 2025.
