Travel Service joins A4E
The Czech Republic’s biggest airline company, Travel Service, whose portfolio includes the Smart Wings brand plus charter and business jet flights, has become the latest recruit to the Airlines for Europe (A4E) group.
General director Roman Vik said it was felt A4E was the association that could best represent the interests of Prague-based Travel Service, which also operates subsidiaries in Slovakia, Poland and Hungary.
“A4E already has a proven track record of successfully working on important policy issues that have a direct impact on an airline’s ability to operate efficiently, securely, safely and profitably,” he said.
“Travel Service will gladly join forces with Europe’s leading airlines to ensure that EU policy will contribute to the competitiveness of the European air transport sector.”
A4E managing director Thomas Reynaert added: “A4E has an important mission in representing the views of European airlines. Air transport and European air passengers need a strong voice in Brussels and the member states.”
Launched in January 2016, Brussels-based A4E now has 16 members including International Airlines Group (IAG), easyJet, Norwegian, Air France KLM, Lufthansa Group and TAP Portugal.
