Amadeus and EVA Air recently celebrated the airline’s successful migration to the Amadeus Altéa Revenue Management Suite. EVA Air has been ramping up global expansion since mid-2015, with new destinations and increased flights on certain routes.
This year alone it has launched direct flights to Istanbul and Cebu, with non-stop Chicago-Taipei flights to commence in November. The carrier has also said it will take delivery of a total of 13 new planes this year. As its footprint grows, optimising revenue across the entire network and maximising route yield will be critical to boosting overall profitability. By migrating to the Amadeus Altéa Revenue Management Suite, the airline will now benefit from a next generation solution that unlike legacy revenue management systems, takes into account the travellers’ entire journey from origin to destination, not simply managing revenue on a leg-by-leg basis.
“Moving to the Amadeus’ Altéa Revenue Management Suite is a significant milestone for us,” said Richard Tseng, Deputy Senior Vice President, EVA Air. “As our network grows in size and complexity, optimising the revenue from each flight becomes increasingly critical, but also challenging. This system can provide constructive recommendations to revenue analysts on how to maximize revenue, and this is why we have chosen to partner with Amadeus. Implementation projects of this magnitude are never easy, but we are very impressed with the professionalism and expertise of the Amadeus team in ensuring a smooth migration. With their commitment on the technology front and full support to our business development, we expect we will see the benefits very soon.”
Hazem Hussein, Executive Vice President, Airline Group, Amadeus Asia Pacific, commented, “Amadeus’ longstanding partnership with EVA Air grows from strength to strength, and we couldn’t be more proud to support the airline’s ambitions as their chosen technology partner. The airline’s smooth migration to the Altéa Revenue Management Suite is testament to the close collaboration between Amadeus and EVA Air.”
