Amadeus signs partnership with Wingie...

Wingie Enuygun’s travel marketplace is set to grow in the MENA region

Wingie Enuygun Group will harnesses Amadeus technology to fulfil international growth plans and enhance retailing with New Distribution Capability (NDC).

This partnership will see Amadeus work closely with online travel agent Wingie Enuygun Group to provide cutting-edge travel technology, driving the company’s ambitions to become one of the five largest Online Travel Agencies in the world.

The two companies will work together to help expand Wingie Enuygun’s reach in the MENA region and beyond by offering the OTA’s customers on wingie.com, wingie.ae and enuygun.com domains a range of air content and fares through the Amadeus Travel Platform.

Wingie Enuygun will also benefit from Amadeus’ extensive air content covering both full-service and low-cost carriers

This partnership includes the distribution of NDC-enabled content, which gives Wingie Enuygun the ability to deliver richer, more tailored offers to its customers while improving service. NDC is an integral part of the Amadeus Travel Platform, which brings together all travel content from multiple sources in one place, allowing travel agencies to easily search and compare offers.

Headquartered in Berlin with offices in Istanbul and Dubai, Wingie Enuygun currently employs 250 staff and achieves more than 165 million visitors to its sites per year.

Turkey, in which Wingie Enuygun is the market leader, is expected to be a key market of growth for Amadeus in 2022, with more significant developments set to be announced later in the year.
