¼ø»Æʦapp and American Airlines extend IT partnership; multi-year agreement paves way for joint technology modernization and innovation

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ —  (NASDAQ: ), a leading technology provider to the global travel industry, and American Airlines today announced the multi-year renewal of their technology partnership, including the provision of the ¼ø»ÆʦappSonic® Passenger Service System (PSS).

The renewal signals the continuation of an exciting era in the partnership between American and ¼ø»Æʦapp as the companies look to push the boundaries of modern travel technology and significantly enhance the traveler experience, together.

“At American, our customers are at the center of each decision we make,” said Scott Laurence, Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Retailing at American Airlines. “American is focused on leveraging solutions, like ¼ø»ÆʦappSonic, that meet the needs of our customers and our team, and we’re pleased to extend our partnership with ¼ø»Æʦapp.”

The partnership between ¼ø»Æʦapp and American over the past decade has had an important impact on the ¼ø»ÆʦappSonic PSS, ultimately influencing innovations and features that benefit the entire airline industry and travelers alike, including intelligent seat re-accommodation, new capabilities in inventory, and enhanced cabin functionality and rules.

“American is a leader in the global airline space, and we are proud our solutions continue to meet and exceed its needs and expectations in the ever-evolving travel industry,” said Roshan Mendis, Chief Commercial Officer, ¼ø»Æʦapp Travel Solutions. “American is one of our most valued customers.

In addition to renewing the ¼ø»ÆʦappSonic agreement, American has extended its subscription with ¼ø»Æʦapp PRISM, a corporate travel contract management solution. These agreements follow last year’s announcement of availability of American’s NDC offers through ¼ø»Æʦapp’s Global Distribution System (GDS).

Last week, ¼ø»Æʦapp and American resolved litigation in connection with a 2011 lawsuit initiated by US Airways.
