Amadeus Altea

  • Pricing is not published and is negotiated with airlines
  • Altea is aimed at full-service carriers; low-cost and hybrid airlines are pointed at Navitaire New Skies instead
  • Amadeus is steering new work toward Nevio, its cloud-native retailing suite, so Altea sits alongside a newer platform

  • Aircraft type support is limited to a published list on CAVU's own site; adding a new aircraft type requires contacting CAVU directly rather than self-service configuration
  • Requires iOS 15.6 or later, per the App Store listing
