Amadeus buys-back Comtec Equity Stake

Comtec, the leading UK based leisure travel technology company, and Amadeus, a leading provider of technology and distribution solutions to the travel industry, have signed an agreement resulting in Comtec buying back Amadeus’ 20% stake in the company acquired in early 2004.

Both companies have worked well together in the UK to the benefit of customers, and both have grown substantially. In addition, Comtec is providing products and services to Vacation.com, an Amadeus subsidiary that is the largest travel agents consortium in North America. This will present Comtec with the opportunity to penetrate an enormous market.

Consolidation of ownership will benefit Comtec as it moves forward as a provider of leisure technology to the UK, North American and other international markets. Both organisations  agreed therefore that there was no significant strategic benefit to either party in Amadeus maintaining its minority stake.
