I think this page was written by a company representative and is biased. For example, these statements look subjective:
Amadeus tagline, "Your technology partner", reflects the approach they take towards their customers. They focus on building and maintaining mutually beneficial long-term relationships.
Amadeus' greatest strength is its ability to form successful mutually-beneficial partnerships with its customers. By working effectively with those immersed in the business of travel and tourism, the company has been able to design winning solutions for travel booking and travel management. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.113.53.151 ( talk) 13:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
The page has been updated according to the above comments. User:cgondar 15:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I agree with previous posters in that this is nothing but a large ad for the Amadeus group. I think it should be totally removed and some of the information put in a page for Amadeus CRS, similar to Galileo CRS and Worldspan etc. I've tried to trim it down a bit, but even the title does not match what the article would become. Suggestions please.-- Dmol 19:48, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
I have trimmed this article down considerably, and I think it is enough to justify removing the advertisement tag. Most of the info had been pure promotional spam, and much of it has now been moved to the new page for Amadeus CRS where it belongs.-- Dmol 14:07, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
I moved the essential parts from the CRS to Amadeus CRS which should end up similar to Sabre CRS. This page Amadeus IT Group should look like Sabre Holdings, the holding company. Mion 02:16, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
I've put the ad tag back in, as it is nothing but an advertisment for Amadeus. The last edits were from a user on behalf of Amadeus. (At least they're honest). But not sure we even need an article on this, as the CRS page should cover most of the information on this page. Seriously trim and make NPOV - or delete article completly.-- Dmol ( talk) 21:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
"Today, through Amadeus, 90,274 travel agency locations and 29,663 airline sales offices around the world are able to make bookings with:
"Amadeus has subscribers in 217 markets (i.e. countries) worldwide; covering these different markets by delivering localized solutions for marketing, customer services and support through a network of over 65 Amadeus Commercial Organizations(ACOs)."
-- Dmol ( talk) 20:57, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Please insert here any comment on possible remaining tracks of advertisement tone in the article. In the absence of substantiated comment for, say, one month, I propose to remove the tag. Vincent Lextrait ( talk) 18:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
In the absence of comment supporting the idea that the tone is commercial, I remove the tag. Vincent Lextrait ( talk) 09:50, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
I am the one who originally modified the article, basing myself on some Amadeus documentation. I am sorry I left in some PR in there by mistake, all the examples above have been legitimately removed. BUT it is no reason for cutting down the whole history chapter!!! It was full of facts, just because you don't have time to work on the article doesn't mean you need to tear down hours of work?!? Thank you for restoring ALL the facts that were in there instead of just spitting on people's compositions... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.30.139.131 ( talk) 16:25, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
Please insert here any comment justifying to keep the advert tag. I have tried to remove all tracks of superlative wording in the article. To my knowledge there is nothing left. I'll wait for comments before removing the tag. Vincent Lextrait ( talk) 17:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
I am not going to repeat myself ad nauseum. I and at least three other editors agreed with the inclusion of the ad tag. See above.-- Dmol ( talk) 11:05, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
This article has no citations to independent third party reliable sources. The tone is promotional, there is no independent assessment of the subject. It does indeed read like an advert. Tag reinstated. Jezhotwells ( talk) 09:11, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
At the risk of repeating myself and others, I’ll detail the following comments in reply to user Vincent Lextrait's request.
Unrelated to the above, the following edits should happen, but every time I start the edits are reverted by user Vincent Lextrait.
I suggest trimming this article down to the first few paragraphs and the history section.-- Dmol ( talk) 11:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I found this article at WP:3O. I agree with the consensus, this article is written very much like an advertisement; WP:PEACOCKs and WP:WEASELs are running rampant. User:Dmol has some excellent points, and it seems that several other users (including myself) overwhelmingly agree. In particular, the opening sentence is ambiguous at best and sounds like something out of a brochure. this edit is a step in the right direction, but it still needs quite a bit of work beyond that.
Vincent Lextrait, judging by the amount of information you have added to the article (in particular your knowledge of its technical infrastructure), you are possibly affiliated with the company (maybe an IT professional, judging by your userpage). If that is the case, I encourage you to read WP:COI before making further edits. If your editing pattern continues (denying consensus, WP:OWN), you may be reported to WP:COIN.

I have made a request for indefinite semi-protection of the article. Let us see if it is granted. Vincent Lextrait ( talk) 19:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
Changes are not suprising. The System One GDS was bought out by Amadeus in the late 90ties. Thus I have doubts that the System One code base was instrumental in the late 80ties to instantiate Amadeus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.39.235.111 ( talk) 09:42, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
Is it appropriate to add the following:
"The Amadeus booking system does not always show the shortest/quickest/cheapest possible travel option. If a change of flights is necessary, then Amadeus will only show the options where the entire journey can be bought as a single ticket. E.g., as of 2014, since the airlines Norwegian and Alitalia are not partners, the shortest, quickest & cheapest option between Oslo and Palermo (changing flights in Roma, with manual transfer of any luggage) is not shown. Amadeus' best option, with an additional stop in Riga, is several hours longer and more expensive."
If the community knows of any flight search services that does indeed show the shortest/quickest options, I think it would be beneficial to reference them here. Does anyone know such an operator?

Hi Wikipedians - a new section was recently added to this page, and I would like to ask for your help in making some edits. The new section is called Data breach and is under the heading of Data Center. Thanks in advance for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve at Amadeus ( talk • contribs) 17:20, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

DGG, I wonder what you make of this article. I saw that a new user, [User:Steve at Amadeus]] (welcome, Steve), just declared a COI in relation to this article. The contents right now make me think that you'd call this run of the mill business information, that may not rise to the proper level of notability. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 16:43, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
