The new IT system will help Nile Air improve operational efficiency and save money
Cairo, Egypt - Modern airlines need IT systems that can handle an incredible amount of fare and passenger information and Nile Air is no exception. Nile Air, one of the largest private schedule airline in Egypt, connects Egypt with key international markets like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, the UAE, Turkey, Sudan in addition to domestic connections. The airline serves a diverse group of travellers, and it needs an IT system that is capable of creating and selling fares that are tailored to meet the needs of its unique customer segments.
To meet this goal, Nile Air extended its contract with Amadeus to expand the scope of the airline IT services that they use. The airline is now the first in the Middle East to use Amadeus' complete Airline IT portfolio, which provides end-to-end IT solutions for carriers of all sizes, including small to mid-size airlines.
Apart from Amadeus' complete Altéa Suite and the Amadeus Digital Solutions, Nile Air has now gained access to four key new features -- revenue management, revenue accounting, mobile web and loyalty management -- that will boost operational efficiency and save the airline money:
· Altéa Segment Revenue Management tool will give Nile Air recommendations on the best price and packaging for flights and allow the airline to apply dynamic pricing, fare families and ancillary services to better package their fare offers.

· The Amadeus Loyalty Management system helps Nile Air personalize offers so that they can retain loyal passengers and boost revenues.
· Finally, Amadeus Mobile Web solution ensures that Nile Air's website is mobile friendly so the airline can achieve brand consistency, smooth customer service and accuracy on all digital platforms.
The new multi-year agreement gives Nile Air access to a fully integrated IT system with instant communication, so the airline can make revenue decisions in real time. The system is also scalable, which allows Nile Air to quickly respond to the needs of a growing airline.
