Amadeus was founded in 1987 by four airlines: Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa and SAS. From our origins supporting airline distribution and then IT, we gradually expanded our capabilities to serve customers across the entire travel industry.

Three decades later, Amadeus is one of the world’s largest technology providers for travel and tourism. Over the years, we’ve broadened our scope, launching our Airline IT business in 2000 and building on that with the acquisition of Navitaire in 2016 to expand our portfolio for low-cost carriers.

We accelerated our move into the hotel IT sector with the acquisition of Newmarket in 2014 and TravelClick in 2018, confirming our strong commitment to the hospitality industry and broadening our product portfolio, know-how and global presence. In a highly fragmented market, Amadeus now has the people and the technology to help all hoteliers deliver a great experience for their guests.

We’ve also expanded our portfolio to include merchandising, revenue management, travel intelligence and travel and expense management, harnessing the potential of cloud computing, mobile applications and big data for our customers. We continue to diversify our operations into other businesses linked to the travel industry, such as airport IT and payments, and we’re exploring new opportunities through our innovation teams. Throughout our history, investment in R&D has been integral to our company culture.

In May 2019 the airport division of Amadeus completed the acquisition of the market leader in Self Service solutions ICM Airport Technics, a Sydney based company with teams in Singapore, USA, Japan, France and the UK. This complimented the Amadeus existing product suite of Passenger Processing and Airport Operation solutions. Since the acquisition, the Self-Service product line has grown with new style bag drops and kiosks, end to end biometrics and common use payment.

Amadeus’ purpose is to make the travel experience better for everyone. Our technology powers the global travel and tourism industry, inspiring more open ways of working and more connected ways of thinking, always with an eye on how the industry can evolve and how our customers can better serve travelers.

Founded in 1998, Firstco are control and communication systems engineers, specialising in the transportation sector.  Working predominately in airports, railways and intermodal operations our clients include infrastructure owners, operators, engineering consultancies, construction contractors and systems solution providers. Our experience includes the technologies and solutions commonly grouped as Communications, Security, Operational and Control & Monitoring systems, and often referred to as IT, ICT, SAS or ELV systems.

Based in London, we now employ over 80 staff and work extensively across the UK. We have grown into an international consultancy and system integrator with projects in Europe, Middle East and Africa, and we are currently exploring expansion into Asia and America.

As systems engineers we work throughout the asset lifecycle; consulting, delivering and supporting the growing number of technologies used to automate operational people and process.

Working from strategy to operations, Firstco specify, design, deliver, commission, integrate, trial, transition, support and maintain systems. We also specialise in stakeholder, interface, requirements and assurance management which are an increasingly complex and critical part of any infrastructure programme.

By remaining product-independent, we can help our customers to select the right solutions then ensure that they are configured to achieve effective and efficient operations. Our Technical Innovation Group work with emerging technologies and solution/product suppliers to identify opportunities and business benefits for introducing new solutions into high integrity environments.

A modern airport will have more than 150 systems with constantly developing and converging technologies, which are critical to safety, security and operation. In the world of ‘big data’, airport operators require increasing interoperability to efficiently manage their sites, and their stakeholders, regulators and passengers expect and demand easy access to a greater level of real-time data. However, with increasing global security issues and the advent of cyber threats, the need for secure, robust and resilient solutions has never been greater.

As existing airports continue to expand and new airports are constructed, it is imperative that the technology systems are considered from the outset and delivered as an integral part of the overall programme. The prerequisites and interfaces with the architecture, civil engineering, baggage and M&E solutions must be managed throughout to avoid costly delays at the point when the project hands over into the live operational environment.

Firstco’s broad experience over all these technologies, and throughout the entire asset lifecycle allows for a Value Assured Engineering approach to oversee the end-to-end solution, engaging the right specialist contractors at the right time in the process, to ensure quality on-time, on-budget delivery.
