SAUDIA moves to orders with Amadeus Nevio to accelerate guest-centric travel
Post Views: 51 SAUDIA has taken a step forward in its digital transformation journey by moving to more guest-centric operations by translating traditional booking records (PNRs) and electronic tickets into Orders. This paves the way for a more personalized and smooth travel experience. An Order is a single, dynamic record of everything the traveler has purchased for their journey. It provides a real-time, consolidated view of all services, enabling the airline to better serve the traveler at every touchpoint – from booking and payment to fulfillment and servicing. By adopting Order capabilities, SAUDIA is fast-tracking its ability to deliver more flexible offers, tailor-made pricing, and fully digital servicing. This transformation marks a foundational step in the airline's broader ambition to redefine guest experience and operational agility through data-driven retailing. The milestone was achieved using Amadeus' smart bridging capabilities, which translate traditional records from SAUDIA's existing Amadeus Altéa Passenger Service System (PSS) into single order records in its new Amadeus Nevio environment. Performing Smart bridging means SAUDIA can begin to operate with orders, accelerating the benefits of the airline retailing transformation in the new Amadeus Nevio environment for its guests while ensuring business continuity with existing traditional infrastructure. 'SAUDIA is committed to delivering the highest standard of guest experience and technology innovation is crucial to this objective. Moving to single Orders means we can gain a better understanding of our guests, what they've purchased from us, and our partners across the entire journey. Orders are the foundation for a more connected travel experience.' Arved von zur Muehlen, Chief Commercial Officer, SAUDIA, 'SAUDIA is one of the airlines leading the industry with its ambitious transformation program. Moving to Orders with smart bridging is an important milestone that lays the foundation for a whole host of new traveler‑centric capabilities. We're delighted to support SAUDIA's continued innovation in airline retailing.' Maher Koubaa, Executive Vice President, EMEA Travel unit, Amadeus. Teams from Amadeus and SAUDIA continue to work closely together in joint innovation centers to ensure the airline maximizes the potential of the transformation to new retailing concepts and technology.

Anna D. Shapiro is stepping away from Steppenwolf for health reasons
Steppenwolf Theatre Company said Monday that its former artistic director, Anna D. Shapiro, will no longer be directing 'Amadeus' in its upcoming season. She will be replaced by former Goodman Theatre artistic director Robert Falls, making his Steppenwolf directorial debut. A Steppenwolf spokesman said the Tony Award-winning Shapiro was stepping down from leading the planned November staging for health reasons and hopes to return to directing projects soon. Steppenwolf also said that it was postponing its previously announced production of 'Topdog/Underdog' due to artistic scheduling conflicts, and will instead stage Conor McPherson's 2012 adaptation of August Strindberg's 'The Dance of Death.' To be directed by Yasen Peyankov, the replacement production will bring longtime ensemble member Kathryn Erbe back to Steppenwolf after an absence of nearly 30 years, along with Steppenwolf co-founder Jeff Perry. 'The Dance of Death' is slated for late January 2026. Steppenwolf Theatre hits 50: Its anniversary season will include 'Amadeus' and a new play by Tarell Alvin McCraneyChris Jones is a Tribune critic. cjones5@

Finnair launches offer-and-order capabilities
Finnair has created its first "native order" with Amadeus' Nevio technology as the carrier transitions to an offer-and-order system and away from traditional booking methods that use passenger name records and e-tickets. Finnair is the launch customer for Amadeus' Nevio offer-and-order platform, which is built on modular and open technology. Native orders are a foundational retailing capability that allow airlines to manage customer orders directly in a single record, aligned with IATA's One Order directive, according to the carrier. The order brings together flight details, services, preferences and personal information and will combine separate documents in the traditional system into an integrated customer record. "The move to Offers and Orders supports our move towards modern retailing, enabling dynamic product bundles and enhanced ancillary sales, and improved relevancy to customers with personalization in the future," Finnair VP of digital customer and revenue Tiina Vesterinen said in a statement. Finnair has been aggressive in its move to New Distribution Capability (NDC) technology and modern retailing systems, announcing in 2021 that it planned to remove all legacy GDS content by the end of 2025, but last June said it would not meet that goal. Finnair said the change to NDC and modern retailing has been slower than anticipated. Source: Business Travel News
