Borns to give-back the dignity to the efforts
made from travel agents day by day and promise a 10% of commissions

"Never profession where the revenue is less than 10%, with the values registered in the tourism market could considered dignitous". Maurizio Sella is well known in the world of the watchmaker industry, but also travel agent and pilot. Sella continues "with AgentAir we would to return the revenue of a travel agency to the base of respect". AgentAir wants to start regular operations during summer 2003 with its first B737/300 and than after fights steps until 8 B737/300's. Francesco Rebaudo, another member and co-founder have declared "B737/300's is the most simply jetliner with most lowest mantainance costs and optimals performances for a low cost carrier. Ryanair has got the most interesting satisfactions from this type of aircraft - B737). Cabin to be fitted in single class, routes from Catania, Naples, Rome and Bari via Milan (Mxp T2 or Orio, these are the airports still in talks) to London, Frankfurt, Paris, Madrid. In the domestic network further flights are planned from Turin, Genoa, Bologna, Venice to the destinations in the South, being unknown, again via Milan. AgentAir will apply fares in base of the market pricing average. Travel agents member will be accounted of a 10% commission, non members will receive an average commission depending from the market, Sella says "in case the carriers will give a 0% commissions to the non member will do it too!!". Ticketing can be made via internet of via general distribution service except IATA. Saella also says "Those tickets purchased in internet, clients could choose the travel agency where to be assigned the commission". Initially the aircrafts will be leased with wet lease contracts - Rebaudo says - where the leasing companies provide aircrafts, mantainance, insurance and crews. We have activated the procedures to obtain the AOC (Air Operations Certificate). Should be various the leasing companies contacted, there is large availability in the market, such as the slots is in course to evaluation, but there is large availability of slots too and isn't a problem to obtain them!. Francesco Rebaudo is an aviation pilot with a large experince regarding airlines start-up in carriers like Air Dolomiti. Yet. is there the time to start those the requests and the leasing contracts to fly already during this summer??? Absolutely yes!!, We will start with an aircraft and gradually we will introduce further new ones. Regarding schedules, their, are thinked to satisfy principally the business traveller demand, without to neglect the leisure market, mostly in the summer period. To well known AgentAir in the travel agent market and to the final consumer we will promote AgentAir with various systems such as communications campaign, postings, road shows in the various destinations served from AgentAir flights, plus a call center with a hot line. |
