Malév is switching over to the Amadeus Altéa new generation passenger service platform by end 2010. As the first stage in this move the Hungarian airline renewed the online booking engine in August of this year. In November one module of the new system platform - along with associated developments and modifications - is scheduled to be introduced in the inventory management field.  Introduction of the Amadeus Altéa system represents an integral part of Malév's new, dynamic sales strategy. The airline expects that this move will result in an expansion of capacity and increase in passenger numbers.
