Business environment:

The Altea Engineering division, part of Travel Unit, is accountable for the optimal delivery of the technology and solutions required to achieve the Altea business objectives. The group encompasses under the same umbrella several domains and a large set of activities: Offer, Order and Traveler Touchpoints & Experience (former Digital for Airlines), Services, and Transversal R&D. Within Altea Engineering, Offer is responsible of IT solutions for airlines: we are building offers both adapted to the end-user (with the right price and flexibility) and that maximize airlines revenue.

The area is tech-savvy! We build upon technology: Performance for example is key to make sure flight search transactions are fast, efficient, and cost effective; Data processing and machine learning are used across our solutions, to optimise our search, power our dynamic pricing and forecast airline’s revenue management. We have a rich ecosystem of applications, OBE, data, OJF or cloud native Skube. On the business side, we work on a stimulating mix of critical Altea functionalities like airline search or inventory, and new solutions with a great commercial dynamic like, revenue management, dynamic pricing, or Altea NDC.

One key mission of the Altea Engineering group is to enable and support our customers in the retailing transformation and to deliver our airline retailing vision: the future of the PSS (formerly known as Next-Gen Altéa, NGA)! Within Altea, Offer is really at the heart of this transformation: we are building the new Offer Management System with a platform-oriented approach, creating from scratch several new components with a state-of-the-art microservice/event driven approach!
