Summary sheet
The project concerns the promoter’s research, development and innovation (RDI) activities for the development of new applications and solutions for the Global Distribution Systems business unit .
The applications under development are essential for the aggregation of flight schedules to allow for the pricing, booking and fulfilment of tickets through travel agencies and various other online sales channels. The related RDI is carried out in Europe during 2013 to 2015, primarily in France.
The investments will concern RDI activities most likely within existing facilities. Therefore, it is unlikely that the project will fall under Annex I and II of Directive 2011/92/EC. Nevertheless the environmental details including environmental objectives of the R&D programme and if needed, the CO2 footprint as well as the possible impacts on protected flora and fauna (Habitats 92/43/EEC and Birds 79/409/EEC Directives) will be assessed during the appraisal.
Procurement is expected to be in line with EIB guidelines for private sector projects. The Bank’s services will verify details during the project’s due diligence.
