Fastjet launches private trade fares

FASTJET has launched
private seasonal fares
for South African travel
agents and tour operators
offering travel packages to
Tanzania.
The fares are valid for
12 months and are not
dependent on booking
class availability, giving
agents and tour operators
the ability to create, price
and market cost-effective
Tanzanian travel packages
in advance.
The fares, which include
one item of checked
luggage per passenger,
can be accessed through
the dedicated fastjet
agent booking portal, www.
fastjet.com/za. The portal
allows the trade to check
availability, plan itineraries,
make and manage bookings
and complete all general
administration processes
relating to their clients’
ights.
“Tanzania offers a diverse
range of destinations and
activities,” says Richard
Bodin, chief commercial
ofcer of fastjet. “South
African tour operators can
now create cost-effective
packages that include some
or all of these remarkable
destinations, without being
held hostage to exorbitant
and highly uctuating fares
charged by the competition
on the Johannesburg-Dar es
Salaam route,” he adds.
Agents can access the
private low-cost fares on
the fastjet booking portal
once they have registered
with fastjet. Contact justin.
