Holiday specialist SunExpress and the global airline, travel & tourism representation company TAL Aviation sign agreement to represent SunExpress in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania
This new partnership comes as part of SunExpress' expansion of seasonal routes to key holiday destinations over this summer including Varna and Burgas in Bulgaria and Heraklion, Crete.
With SunExpress joining IATA's BSP (Billing & Settlement Plan) system in Bulgaria and Greece last month, TAL Aviation teams in Bulgaria, Greece and Romania are all set to promote, sell and support the airline in their markets.
Through seasonal direct flights operating between a number of German cities and Varna and Burgas in Bulgaria plus Heraklion in Crete, this new partnership will open up additional options for Bulgarians, Greeks and Romanians, wishing to travel for business or pleasure to Germany.
“Bulgaria and Romania are key emerging markets for us” says Peter Glade, Chief Commercial Officer at SunExpress. “We’re really happy to be able to join forces with TAL Aviation in these markets to streamline our sales and representation efforts. We feel that TAL Aviation is exactly the partner we need to significantly expand our local sales activities.”
Nissim Sagis, Chief Commercial Officer of TAL Aviation: “We are always thrilled to welcome a new partner and be able to offer more choice and travel alternatives for our customers. SunExpress has been setting records and our teams are all eager to begin selling flights for the airline in their markets. With SunExpress increasing its flight schedule over the summer, we are looking forward to being a part of more record-breaking announcements during 2019!”
SunExpress has a long-standing track record of driving innovation in the airline industry. For instance, SunExpress is the world’s first airline to offer its customers the option of booking flights by voice command via Amazon’s Alexa. Besides that, the carrier recently launched a cooperation with delivery start-up Foodora to offer a unique choice of modern on-board menus on selected routes.
