It means travel agents can now book the full package under AAT Kings ATOL license, which has been extended in anticipation of strong demand from the UK and Irish trade.
Ben Hall, AAT Kings Group CEO said: “This development has been a long time in the making, and we are excited to announce this to our trade partners.”
“AAT Kings has over 100 years of experience creating holidays in Australia and New Zealand; now we can also offer the trade flight inclusive packages.”
“We are anticipating strong demand for this and are confident that this move will open doors for more agent partners to start selling our Australia and New Zealand guided holiday packages.”
This will enable agents to create a tailored package, with a full range of regional departure points, stop-overs and flexible tickets combinable with an AAT Kings Guided Holiday of five nights or more.
Ex-UK flight inclusive packages can be booked through the contact centre, on the phone or via email.
Bookings can be reserved on a deposit basis, with full payment made at 60 days out.
Hall added: “We know that a holiday to Australia or New Zealand is a once in a lifetime trip for many UK customers. The flexibility we can now offer our trade partners makes it a stress-free experience.”
AAT Kings recently announced that small group tours would be offered for the first time for 2026/27.
Groups will have an average of 16 and maximum 24 guests.
“The introduction of new small group tours was monumental for AAT Kings,” said Hall.
“Being able to offer a different touring style means we can continue to diversify and make sure we’re offering something for everyone.”
Three webinars are available in September, for agents who want to learn more about the new touring style and product for 2026/27, as well as the key benefits to booking with AAT Kings.
Slots are on September 9, 10, and 11 at 10am and pre-registration is required via an online form or email sales@aatkings.co.uk.
In addition, AAT Kings A-Listers trade loyalty programme has been revamped, with two new podcast episodes available focusing on the new season programme and small group tours.
It is available on-demand via AAT Kings Industry Hub
