domestic and regional carrier, announces it has signed a major technology agreement
with Amadeus, a leading travel technology provider and transaction processor
for the global travel and tourism industry, which will see Amadeus provide a
suite of advanced technology solutions to power the airline’s passenger
operations and help elevate its competitive advantage.

Mongolian Airlines Group has selected the Amadeus Altea
Customer Management Solution to automate the airline’s entire customer
management process, including booking, ticketing, airport check-in and
departure control, while enhancing the overall customer experience. The airline
will also use Amadeus e-retail, an online global booking solution, to power
sales through its website, enabling travelers around the world to easily book Mongolian
Airlines flights.

Additionally, Mongolian Airlines Group and Amadeus also
signed a global distribution agreement that will enable the airline’s flight
schedule, fares and availability to be viewed and booked via the Amadeus
Selling Platform to a global network of over 91,000 travel agents, providing
the airline with a global platform, as enjoyed by over 420 major international
carriers.

The agreement with Mongolian Airlines highlights the
flexibility of Amadeus’ solutions, which are used by both large, international
airlines and small and medium size carriers alike.

Speaking about the landmark agreement, Byambajav Margad,
Vice-President of Policy and Strategic Planning, Mongolian Airlines Group said,
