Amadeus' Navitaire renews Ryanair's PSS contract to 2025.

Navitaire to complement Ryanair's labs and not be replaced by in-house developments until at least 2025. Navitaire's largest customer by passengers boarded at 117 million for the 12 months to 2016 have extended their existing agreement to 2025 with Amadeus' Navitaire. T2RL believe that Dave Evans, Navitaire's CEO and Amadeus' John Dabkowski would have been very keen to ensure this business renews given the rumours that Ryanair had ambitions to go it alone, much like Emirates. T2RL believe that Ryanair would account for no more than 15M USD in annual revenues however for the 12 months to 2016. In a March 2016 interview, Ryanair's CTO John Hurley claimed there were some 250 people working on technology projects, mobile and web with staff spread across locations in Dublin, Poland and Spain. T2RL believe this would give Ryanair a total spend on IT services well below 1% of annual revenues maintaining their efficiency and competitive cost base.
