Corendon Airlines to grow UK market share by targeting smaller operators and agents
Speaking to TTG at WTM London, head of sales and marketing Christian Hein said the UK was a key growth area for the airline, one that currently represents 10-12% of its business.
Corendon currently puts around 350,000 seats on sale across seven UK airports during the summer months, but doesn’t operate a winter schedule out of the UK.
“We’re well covered by On The Beach, Loveholidays, Tui and Travel Republic,” he explained. “But we’re missing out on the landscape beneath these four – the smaller tour operators.”
Hein, who joined the airline in June after spells with Lufthansa and MSC Cruises, said the recent appointment of Matthew Carpenter as the airline’s new UK trade sales manager would bolster its presence in the market.
“With him, we’re creating a UK-specific plan, but there’s a lot of potential [in the market],” he added.
