Travel Booking company Amadeus Aeroflot to suspend from the system, etTravelworld

Spanish Air Travel System Company Amadeus began suspending fares offered by a Russian aeroflot from Spokejer’s systems on Thursday. Amadeus has suspended all planned commercial projects in Russia following last week’s invasion of Ukraine, a spokeswoman for Spokeuso said.

The company is assessing the impact of international sanctions on Russia, and Russian retaliation may have its case. GDS providers such as Amadeus and Saber use software networks to distribute airline tickets.

To make the announcement, Saber said Aeroflot was taking immediate steps to remove its in-flight content from the GDS. “Saber is following the evolving situation in Ukraine with increasing concern. Our primary focus from the beginning has been the safety of our team members in the affected area, as well as the safety of our work to support the much-needed relief efforts,” said Sean Menke, CEO, Saber.

Earlier, travel booking software provider Saber Corp canceled its distribution deal with Aeroflot on Thursday, undermining the Russian flag carrier’s ability to sell tickets. Saber is the latest in a market where Aeroflot uses Aeroflot’s flight content from Aeroflot’s global distribution system (GDS), travel agencies and corporates with backup flights, and Amadeus is the latest to cut ties with Russian firms following sweeping sanctions against Moscow over its attack on Ukraine. Saber said it will also assess whether further action is necessary after legal considerations and any countermeasures that may be taken in response.
