Air France-KLM Asserts 'Control' Over Content, Channel Partners In Amadeus Deal

Amadeus last week announced a bellwether distribution agreement with Air France-KLM that serves as a framework for the global distribution system operator to be an aggregator of Air France-KLM's New Distribution Capability-piped content. Speaking with The Beat Monday, Air France-KLM vice president of distribution Emmanuelle Gailland emphasized airline control in the deal's structure, both over the content it delivers and to which agencies it distributes.
