Amadeus It Group Sa
Amadeus IT Group, S.A. is a Spanish travel-technology company headquartered in Madrid, incorporated as a Sociedad Anónima (S.A.) under Spanish law and registered with the Registro Mercantil de Madrid. Its verified tax identification number (CIF), confirmed via the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) official registry, is A-84236934. This differs from the registration number A84409408 shown in this profile’s underlying registry data, which corresponds to a separate, now-extinguished (“extinguida”) Madrid-registered entity that previously used the same trade name; that discrepancy is flagged here so it is not confused with the current, active, publicly listed parent company. Amadeus IT Group, S.A. is currently active and provides IT solutions to the global travel industry, principally its global distribution system (GDS) connecting travel agencies and online channels to airlines, hotels and other travel providers, together with IT platforms for airlines and airports, a payments platform marketed as Outpayce, and biometric self-service airport technology under the Vision-Box brand.
Amadeus traces its origins to 1987, when it was founded by a consortium of European airlines to build a shared computerised reservation system. Following a private-equity-backed leveraged buyout completed in 2005, Amadeus IT Group, S.A. listed on the Bolsa de Madrid on 29 April 2010 and is a constituent of the IBEX 35 index, trading under ticker AMS (ISIN ES0109067019).
The group’s activities span air distribution, IT solutions for airlines and airports, hospitality and other travel-vertical software, payments, and, since 2024, airport and border biometrics. For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Amadeus reported consolidated revenue of €6,517.0 million (up 6.1% year-on-year, 8.5% at constant currency), an EBITDA margin of 35.6% with EBITDA up 9.0% at constant currency, and consolidated profit for the year of €1,335.6 million (up 6.6%), per its FY2025 results published 27 February 2026. The group employed approximately 20,605 people worldwide as of 31 December 2025. Luis Maroto Camino has served as President and CEO of Amadeus IT Group, S.A. since 1 January 2011.
Recent material developments include the completion in April 2024 of Amadeus’s approximately €320 million acquisition of Vision-Box, a Portugal-based biometric identity and self-service airport technology provider (announced 31 January 2024), and the announcement on 29 April 2026 of an agreement for Amadeus IT Group, S.A. to acquire IDEMIA Public Security (IPS) for approximately €1.2 billion, a deal expected to close around mid-2027 and intended to extend the group’s identity and border-technology capabilities.

Officers
39
Amadeus IT Group, S.A.’s Board of Directors, as confirmed at the Ordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held in Madrid on 3 June 2026, comprises 12 members: Chairman William Connelly (independent), President & CEO Luis Maroto Camino (executive director, in the role since 1 January 2011), Vice-Chairman Stephan Gemkow (independent), and independent directors Pilar García Ceballos-Zúñiga, Peter Kürpick, Xiaoqun Clever-Steg, Amanda Mesler, Jana Eggers, Eriikka Söderström, David Vegara Figueras, Frits Dirk van Paasschen, and Leo Puri (appointed 4 June 2025, term to 2028; other directors’ terms run to June 2027).
This profile’s underlying registry data also lists “Consejero” (director/board member) entries for Downing Burgess John and Louis Bedoucha; neither name appears on Amadeus’s current AGM-confirmed board, and available sources do not confirm either as a current director — these appear to be outdated registry entries rather than current appointments. Leon Caro Herrera is recorded as “Apoderado” (a power-of-attorney/proxy holder authorised to act for the company), a delegated-authority role distinct from board membership. Cristina Fernández holds the management position of Director of Investor Relations and is likewise not confirmed as a board member.
Recent changes: Leo Puri was appointed to the board on 4 June 2025; the full board (unchanged in composition) was re-confirmed by shareholders on 3 June 2026. No other individual director appointments or departures for 2024–2026 were confirmed from available sources.
