easyJet is planning to enhance its partnerships with the corporate travel sector with a new dedicated team led by Iain Withers, easyJet’s head of industry, who has a strong background within the supplier side of the TMC. The team is dedicated to increasing cooperation with the corporate travel sector with a focus on product awareness, stakeholder engagement, distribution simplicity and driving growth of seat sales to corporate customers through the TMCs.
Anthony Drury, easyJet’s Head of Business commented: “easyJet was one of the first low cost airlines to engage the trade and has worked with TMCs for more than five years.
“We continue to evolve our TMC offering to ensure that the sector has the tools, knowledge and dedicated support to continue to support our mutual corporate clients and their travellers with their travel investment.
“This new team will take a consultative approach and work with TMC partners to support business customers and travellers. In addition to the new team a selection of new enhancements for TMC customers including an online training academy for point-of-sale agents, improved customer service offerings and greater support on the ground will be launched.”
