MINNEAPOLIS, MN and BUCHAREST, ROMANIA – Blue Air has extended its partnership with Navitaire, an Amadeus company. Under the terms of the agreement, Blue Air will continue to use Navitaire’s New Skies digital retail reservations platform as its passenger service system (PSS) and will add Navitaire’s pricing optimization and GoNow day-of-departure solutions.
Blue Air plans to expand the use of Navitaire’s solutions to deliver best in class ultra-low-cost customer experience and to improve its personalization, advanced retailing, data and digital platform capabilities. New Skies allows Blue Air to offer a seamless, multichannel, digital customer experience that makes it easy to book flights and ancillary services throughout its customers’ journey.

As with all Navitaire solutions, New Skies and GoNow are tightly integrated.
Blue Air will also take advantage of Navitaire’s ancillary pricing optimization solution powered by machine learning to help customize personalization, optimize sales and enhance ancillary revenue uptake. And as Blue Air takes its next steps in its digital journey to become a more data-driven airline, Navitaire’s rich, real-time data is readily accessible across all of Navitaire’s integrated platforms.
