The French airline Corsair has chosen APG, the world’s leading network for airline services, to be its General Sales Agent (GSA) in Mali.
“APG is delighted and honored to represent CORSAIR in Mali. I am confident that our team of professionals in the field will ensure the success of the airline and new flights to this market” commented Sandrine de Saint Sauveur, President & CEO of APG Inc.
Since January 30th, 2018 Corsair is operating flights between Paris-Orly and Bamako-Modibo Keita as part of a code-share agreement with Aigle Azur. As a first step, the Tuesday frequency will be operated by Corsair, with those on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday remaining with Aigle Azur. Corsair will operate a second frequency on Sunday starting from April, bringing the total to five flights operated each week by the two airlines between the French and Malian capitals. The new partners explain that this deployment “will allow customers of both companies to benefit from a wider choice in terms of flexibility and fare combinations from Paris-Orly airport to Mali”. Also thanks to this agreement, the two companies “will be able to attract new customers and respond on the one hand to the demand of an loyal clientele between Paris and Bamako and, on the other hand, to the business customers thanks to the more frequent flights.
Every year, APG holds the APG WorldConnect airline distribution conference, attended by over 500 senior representatives from the airline industry including around 100 senior airline managers, representatives of global travel groups as well as many other senior representatives from different sectors of the aviation industry.

APG WorldConnect 2018 promises to be a truly landmark occasion as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event’s launch.
