FCM Travel annonce le déploiement mondial de Sam, son assistant alimenté par l’intelligence artificielle à partir de juin 2026.

FCM Travel précise que Sam a été développé en interne et intégré directement à l’infrastructure technologique du groupe, plutôt que comme une couche ajoutée à des systèmes existants.

La solution est destinée aux voyageurs d’affaires, aux réservataires et aux travel managers. Elle doit permettre d’accompagner l’ensemble du parcours voyageur, depuis la réservation jusqu’au suivi du programme voyages.


Un assistant connecté aux politiques voyages des entreprises

Selon John Morhous,directeur de l’expérience client mondiale, Sam a été conçu pour garantir un haut niveau de précision et de conformité aux politiques internes des entreprises.

L’assistant applique automatiquement les règles liées aux plafonds de dépenses, aux validations internes ou aux fournisseurs référencés. Un voyageur ne pourra par exemple pas recevoir de proposition de billet en classe affaires si cette option n’est pas autorisée dans la politique voyages de son entreprise.

FCM Travel précise également que les données des clients restent stockées dans son environnement privé et ne sont pas utilisées pour entraîner des modèles publics d’intelligence artificielle.

Au lancement, Sam permettra notamment aux travel managers d’accéder aux données de leurs programmes via des échanges en langage naturel et de basculer vers les outils de réservation déjà utilisés par les entreprises.

Portugal: General Strike on June 3 Threatens Transport


Portugal : une grève générale le 3 juin menace les transports - Depositphotos.com Auteur sam741002

Top of Travel


Portugal is bracing for a day of transport disruption. A nationwide general strike, planned for June 3, 2026, called by CGTP, the main Portuguese trade union confederation (Confederação Geral dos Trabalhadores Portugueses – Intersindical Nacional), could significantly disrupt flights, trains, metros, ferries and bus networks across the country, just weeks ahead of the peak tourism season.

According to the Portuguese public broadcaster RTP Notícias, the Federation of Transport and Communications Unions says that “all transport companies” are mobilized and that strike notices have already been filed.

The disruptions are expected to affect: the national railway company CP, and suburban trains, as well as metros, ferries, and urban buses in Lisbon and Porto.


Disruptions Expected in Public Transport

Air transport could also be heavily affected. The SNPVAC union, representing the cabin crew, has confirmed its participation in the social movement. According to RTP, TAP, Ryanair and easyJet flights could be disrupted.

Several Portuguese media outlets report up to 500 flights affected. The French-language magazine based in Portugal, Vivre le Portugal, which relays information from SIC Notícias, indicates that TAP could be particularly affected.

This mobilization aims to protest the government’s reform of labor law. The unions denounce, in particular, measures that facilitate dismissals and loosen certain subcontracting rules.
