The two-day event attended by more than 150 international customers is hosted by the commercial arm of Emirates Group.

“The Mercator Customer Forum is an excellent platform to showcase our award-winning systems whilst working on future product developments directly with our customers. It is testament to our product and our strong team that so many international customers have committed their time to be here for this two-day event,” Shaikh Ahmad said.

The President of dnata and Emirates Group Services, Gary Chapman, highlighted the important role the event played in enabling Mercator to collaborate with its customers.

Mercator has signed a deal with Air Algerie, which will see the carrier use seven of its technologies to manage its passenger and cargo operations. Also present at the event was Malaysian Airlines, who uses Mercator’s revenue accounting solution RAPID and recently celebrated the 100 millionth passenger coupon processed via Mercator’s bureau.
