As revealed on Tnooz two weeks ago - although heavily denied at the time - British Airways and Amadeus have reached agreement to extend their distribution deal until 2013.
Press released today, Amadeus says it has achieved a "full content" partnership with BA to give agents access to the same information that consumers going direct to BA.com would have.
This includes, according to the release, "fares, schedules and inventory" for bookings will be the same as those offered through any "direct or indirect channel, distribution provider or website".
Only Sabre of the big three GDS networks remains un-signed, although the contract officially runs out at the end of Q1 2010.
The speed in which the two agreements so far (Amadeus and Travelport) have been signed has surprised some seasoned industry watchers behind the scenes - many of which expected a long drawn out process of negotiation as airlines attempted to squeeze the GDSs for better rates and less access.
The reality is that airlines - at least in the case of BA - are probably eager to stabilise their distribution agreements before heading into what could be another tough 12 months.
