## Company history

Amadeus traces its origins to 1987, when Air France, Iberia, Lufthansa and SAS founded Amadeus Marketing SA to create an independent, neutral global distribution system for travel bookings. Over time, it expanded from distribution into broader travel technology, with the Altéa Passenger Services System becoming a key milestone in its move into airline IT.[47](https://corporate.amadeus.com/en/about-us/history)

The current parent company, Amadeus IT Group, S.A., was incorporated in Madrid on February 4, 2005.[48](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b2f0e4396d674cb2bf27ef15f75428be) A major corporate milestone followed on April 29, 2010, when Amadeus began trading on the Spanish stock exchanges after its IPO; it later joined the IBEX 35 index.[49](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-b9994fc1884444b08ae04e2f5089ed7a)[47](https://corporate.amadeus.com/en/about-us/history) Amadeus then broadened its technology portfolio through acquisitions, including Navitaire, completed on January 26, 2016, TravelClick, completed on October 4, 2018, and ICM Airport Technics, acquired on May 31, 2019, extending its reach across airline, hospitality and airport technology.[50](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-e994026e0ec7495dbbdddcc68cde906e)[51](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-c7c1f67c737b4e4cb6a57f5f9ba6fa0e)[52](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P-f64a26b62a4b4247a1f0cb96d3df106d)
