TAL Aviation and Australian national carrier Qantas, partners in several European/Middle Eastern markets, have continued their cooperation and expanded sales and distribution services into the Iberian Peninsula.
As part of the agreement, the companies expanded their collaboration in Spain and Portugal.
TAL Aviation’s Spanish team, headed by Juan Oviedo Delgado, TAL Aviation Country Manager Spain & Portugal, will provide sales, marketing, and additional services to support both the Spanish and Portuguese markets.
Nissim Sagis, TAL Aviation’s Chief Commercial Officer said: “We are excited to be continuing our cooperation especially with the expansion into the Spanish and Portuguese markets. Qantas has announced several strategic developments which will enhance the customer experience, also at the selling level. The growth of Qantas’ distribution platform into additional markets, for example, will enable agents to offer a more personalized customer service, which we look forward to seeing implemented across more of our markets in the future.”
Qantas has made numerous network updates over recent months; adding services in existing markets as well as resuming flights to London and its New Zealand cities. Services to Santiago, San Francisco, Osaka, Tokyo and Bali, are scheduled to re-start soon.
The Australian national airline is also improving the comfort experience at the airport, rolling out generation airport kiosks for customers travelling on domestic flights.
Other landmarks towards future travel include investment of up to $200 million to accelerate the establishment of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) industry in Australia, as well as the order for 12 Airbus A350-1000s, to enable non-stop flights to Australia from any other city, including New York and London, from late 2025.
