Amadeus opened 2026 with solid growth and profitability. From March, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has been significantly impacting global air traffic, with IATA announcing negative growth in April and May, the first time in 15 years (excluding the Covid period).
Amadeus reports that the geopolitical situation has moderated its growth outlook, in line with IATA global air traffic expectations.
Amadeus President & CEO Luis Maroto commented: “Amadeus delivered solid revenue and profit growth in the first half, while maintaining sustained commercial momentum across our businesses. Despite softening in volumes from March amid the geopolitical situation in the Middle East, both customer demand for our solutions and our commercial pipeline remained strong. The recent slowdown in air traffic expectations has had a limited impact on our outlook, highlighting the breadth and diversification of our business across customers, segments and geographies.”
