Regional carrier Airlink is increasing its presence in Latin American in terms of marketing and sales, and has appointed GSA Aviareps to fulfil this function in Ecuador, Panama and Peru. The airline already has a presence in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico.

Aviareps is to promote Airlink’s impressive schedule of flights, which currently connect 45 destinations throughout Southern Africa.

Aviareps will represent and raise Airlink’s brand visibility in the three new markets and will support the airline’s drive to increase its share of inbound travel to Southern Africa.

“South America represents a significant market, not just for Airlink, but for businesses, entrepreneurs and leisure travellers. South-South economic activity is increasing, including trade, investments in mining and manufacturing, commerce and tourism. With our reach, choices of routes, service and reliability, Airlink is ideally suited to support everyone who wants to explore and take full advantage of the opportunities that exist on both sides of the South Atlantic,” said Airlink CEO and MD, Rodger Foster.

“We are delighted to have been selected by Airlink, which is an important and dynamic carrier, to support it with our GSA services. This new partnership will add value to our firm and we look forward to working closely with Airlink to increase its penetration in these Latin American markets,” said Marcelo Kaiser, COO of Aviareps. 

“The airline already has an established relationship with Aviareps in the European and African region representing Airlink. I too look forward to continuing working with Aviareps,” said Airlink Sales and Marketing Executive Manager, Carla da Silva.
