Goldair – Golemis Air Services CO.S.A. is one of the largest and most reputable group of companies in the tourism and transportation sector within Greece & Cyprus markets. The GSA’s role is to further enhance Air Canada’s strong position in Greece & Cyprus. The GSA will be conducting efficient and strategic commercial activities while strengthening Air Canada’s brand awareness in both regions. The GSA will be focusing on maximizing revenues from ticket sales through Greece & Cyprus Markets encouraging Trade Partners to select and take preference to Air Canada as their first-choice airline. Both Leisure and Marine Traffic are important segments for Air Canada.
The new partnership is a major challenge for Goldair Group family since it signals the restart of the post-Covid era and the perspective of the leisure business growth among Canada & Greece. At the same time, it indicates the perspective born by the highly developed marine industry in Greece which provides a large percentage of marine sales that is generated through GR & CY Markets. Goldair will focus on AC’s further sales growth and on maximizing AC’s Market Share through both territories, Goldair’s Deputy Managing Director, Nikos Sofiadis, stated.
