Amadeus misses target

Amadeus Romania, the domestic branch of the international giant specialising in online reservation solutions, posted 4.1 million RON (1.1 million euro) turnover in the first nine months of the year. The result was lower than the company expected, but its actual target was not revealed. “The market in Romania has seen significant growth of about 20%, though not as much as we estimated early in the year,” says Luis Lechuga, market manager for the Central and South-eastern European countries. Amadeus Romania became a legal entity as late as 2004, having operated as an Amadeus representative office before then, and thus the growth cannot be compared with previous years. The Amadeus official expects to see a similar trend in 2006. Amadeus” main competitor on the domestic market is Worldspan. ZF
