Amadeus claims an impressive client list of more than 67,000 travel agencies worldwide, and partnerships with hundreds of airlines, representing more than 95% of the world's scheduled airline seats.

Independence Air Senior Vice President of Marketing Eric Nordling said, "The strategy of offering our schedule for sale through the major GDS providers has been increasingly successful over the past several months, and this new partnership with Amadeus is another important step."
