Fareportal and Amadeus Expand Strategic Partnership to Accelerate Travel Distribution Innovation

Fareportal, the travel technology company behind major online travel brands including CheapOair and OneTravel, has expanded its long-standing strategic partnership with Amadeus, reinforcing its commitment to modernising global travel distribution and retailing.

The renewed long-term agreement follows an extensive evaluation process and positions Amadeus as a core technology partner supporting Fareportal’s ambition to build a more flexible, scalable, and customer-centric travel distribution ecosystem.

Through the expanded collaboration, Fareportal will continue to leverage Amadeus’ distribution and technology capabilities to improve access to airline content, enhance operational efficiency, and accelerate innovation across its platforms as the industry moves toward more modern retailing models.

An important component of the partnership is Fareportal’s adoption of Outpayce B2B Wallet, a payments solution designed to modernise how travel sellers settle transactions with suppliers. By moving away from traditional settlement mechanisms toward virtual card-based payments, Fareportal aims to streamline supplier payments, improve acceptance rates, and create new revenue opportunities.

Commenting on the collaboration, Fareportal noted that investing in next-generation technology is central to delivering greater choice, transparency, and improved booking experiences for travellers, while also supporting deeper collaboration with suppliers.

For the wider travel ecosystem, the expanded partnership reflects a broader industry shift toward technology-driven distribution frameworks that prioritise flexibility, data-led decision-making, and retail-oriented travel selling. As competition intensifies across online travel, partnerships between global technology providers and large-scale travel sellers such as Fareportal continue to play a defining role in shaping the future of travel distribution.
