Amadeus bid confirmed
Amadeus has confirmed that venture capital firms BC Partners and Cinven are to launch a bid for the GDS.
As reported, the main airline shareholders in Amadeus – Air France, Lufthansa and Iberia – have selected the two financial institutions as preferred bidders for the company at a price of euros 7.35 per share.
The aim is to de-list the Madrid-based GDS for the stock market, with the three airlines still retaining an interest in the business.
