Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

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

WingX Pro
