Distribution
Amadeus' full-content agreement with American Airlines on Aug. 31 expired without a successor or extension,
according to The Beat. The
airline disclosed that "any Amadeus GDS product" now is subject to a
$5.50 per-segment "Source Premium" surcharge. "We remain in
discussions with Amadeus, so it is too early to tell whether or how the change
in our policy will ultimately affect Amadeus subscribers in the United
States," an AA spokesman noted.
