Air France-KLM and FlySafair have entered into an interline agreement that took effect on December 11.
Pieter Bootsma, executive vp Strategy of Air France-KLM announced this news at KLM’s birthday bash on Tuesday night, where the airline was celebrating 80 years in the South African market.
The agreement allows travel agents to issue just one ticket with both FA and AF-KL sectors. The ability to purchase both tickets together is also a major benefit for travellers who no longer have to worry about forfeiting their domestic flight booking in the event that their inbound flight is delayed. The agreement also means that travellers can connect from FlySafair’s domestic flights onto Air France and KLM flights into Europe and onwards without having to gather their luggage and check-in again.
Pieter told eTNW that the agreement provides more seamless connections to its travellers into and out of South Africa.
Kirby Gordon, head of Sales and Distribution at FlySafair, said the agreement was a very significant milestone for the airline.
