Germany, July 25, 2025 – Atlas has officially launched a new European data centre in Germany, as part of its growing global data infrastructure. This marks a major step forward for low-cost carrier (LCC) retailing technology, enhancing platform performance for European online travel agent (OTA) partners while providing localised data storage and stronger support for cross-border compliance.
The new site is GDPR-compliant, empowering European partners with regional data control options, reduced latency, and seamless global connectivity. Whether powering flight searches, bookings, or payment infrastructure, Atlas’ AI-powered LCC retailing solution now offers even smarter delivery with global infrastructure and local governance.
A Strategic Commitment to European Partners
“Our European data centre in Germany isn’t just an infrastructure upgrade — it’s a strategic commitment to our partners to grow with us, confidently,” said Mary Li, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Atlas.
“It provides our partners the flexibility to implement local data residency, enabling regional data control and improved performance—without compromising on international reach.”
Designed for Compliance, Built for Speed
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is one of the world’s most comprehensive data protection laws, and Atlas has always gone beyond the baseline. With the launch of the European data centre in Frankfurt, our partners now have the option to store and process personally identifiable passenger data within the EU for contractual or performance-related reasons.
Upon selecting this option, here’s what it means for our OTA partners’ operations:
- No passenger data is sent outside the region. Personal information stays securely within the EU.
- Only limited order-level information (like order number and price) is transferred—anonymised and strictly for financial reconciliation.
- Data transfers follow strict legal frameworks, ensuring full compliance with all cross-border data regulations.
- Response times are significantly reduced, leading to a smoother experience for OTA’s platform users.
- Reduced latency, improved search and booking performance for higher conversion rates.
- Data privacy and compliance with peace of mind, Atlas has it covered for both global and local accountabilities.
Adaptive Infrastructure: Secure, Compliant, and Ready to Scale
Data security and scalability are at the heart of everything we build. Our platform is designed around three core pillars:
- Global Infrastructure
High system availability: Our active-active architecture ensures that even during regional failures or peak loads, Atlas remains fast and reliable. - Local Accountability
- Security of data at rest: Personal data is encrypted and protected with industry-leading technologies.
- Scalable data residency options: Personal data can be stored in-region — Europe, North America, or Asia-Pacific — based on the client’s location.
- Regulatory compliance: We minimize the flow of personal data across borders and comply with all local regulations when transfers are necessary.
- Enhanced Scalability
- Our infrastructure supports seamless growth, enabling partners to scale globally while maintaining local compliance and performance.
Enabling the Future of Air Travel Distribution
The launch of our European data centre is more than just an infrastructure milestone — it’s a step toward our long-term vision to power air travel through smarter, faster, and more secure technology.
As our travel platform continues to scale globally, Atlas remains focused on delivering dependable service, regulatory alignment, and future-ready capabilities to partners worldwide.
