Mumbai: According to a Financial Chronicle report, Turkish Airlines has decided not to extend its ticket bookings contract with InterGlobe Air Transport for Indian market which ends in June this year. The airline is now planning to set up its sales office in Gurgaon and tie-up with various travel agents to service the Indian market.
“Our contract with Inter- Globe ends in June this year. We have decided not to extend it as we are setting up our own office in Gurgaon. We’ll have separate teams for marketing, sales and ticketing. About 25 per cent of our sales are out of Delhi and for that we will tie up with travel agents,” said Adnan Aykac, General Manager, Northern & Eastern India, Turkish Airlines. The carrier, which has been in India for the last eight years, operates a daily flight from Delhi and Mumbai to Istanbul with a load factor of 75 per cent.
Aykac said the company was studying other potential markets in India and would consider adding new flights soon. “India has huge potential in terms of two way traffic. We want to have a load factor of 80 per cent, which is quite easy to achieve,” he said.
