Volotea, one of the fastest-growing independent airlines in Europe, has chosen APG as its GSA in Denmark, Norway, Sweden & Iceland. Under the agreement, APG will be providing wide ranging sales and marketing services throughout the countries.
‘’We are very satisfied with this agreement. APG has been a trusted partner of Volotea for years and we believe in the potential that the Nordic market has for our airline. With this new partnership, being APG our GSA in Nordics, we want to reach the B2B channel in these countries where the passenger follows closely many of Volotea’s destinations. In addition, this season we have a new route between Alborg and Naples so this agreement could not come at a better time’’ adds Mr. Massimiliano Vollero – Global Sales Director at Volotea.
“We are very proud that Volotea has given us their trust to represent them in Scandinavia and Iceland. Volotea flies to many destinations which are very attractive for Scandinavians and from this summer they will link Aalborg with Naples. We are excited to expand their brand awareness in Scandinavia and Iceland and assist them making the Aalborg-Naples service successful.” said Kees-Jan van der Velden – CEO at APG Scandinavia & Baltics
