Widerøe, a Norwegian airline, has
appointed APG as its online General Sales Agent (GSA) in the
United Kingdom.
Under the agreement, APG will provide the
airline with a wide range of sales and marketing activities, as well
as reservations and ticketing services.
“APG UK has been given an amazing
opportunity to further grow business across Europe with current
scheduled services to Aberdeen, Liverpool & London Stansted in the
UK,” said Alan Daniels, Director of Sales & Operations UK. “Traffic to Norway has rebounded back to 2019 levels and we
believe that there is a huge opportunity to further grow tourism
out of the UK and to increase business with our corporate
partners.”
Widerøe Embraer E190-E2
Founded in 1934, Widerøe is not only Scandinavia’s
largest regional airline, but also Norway’s oldest airline.
The carrier has a fleet of three E190-E2s, ten
Dash-8 Q400s, four Dash-8 Q300s, and 26 Dash-8 100 / Q200s,
operating nearly 50 domestic and international destinations,
including Aberdeen, Liverpool and London in the UK.
Widerøe annually serves almost three
million passengers, offering access to captivating destinations
such as the Norwegian Fjords, Lofoten Islands and North Cape.
“With local
representation, we will be able to give our UK agents and
customers better service and assistance, which again should lead
to better knowledge and increased sales of our flights between UK
and Norway, and on our extensive network in Norway. We look
forward to welcoming even more UK passengers on board,” said Kristin Gaustad, Widerøe’s Sales and Marketing
Manager-Leisure, Norway.
