A DOUBLE FOR VOX: Adds FLYGTA Airlines to Roster and Welcomes Erin Oddleifson to Team

VoX International has announced the addition of FLYGTA Airlines to its client roster, and will assist the airline with marketing and travel trade outreach. To spearhead that, VoX has also welcomed popular travel executive Erin Oddleifson to the team to manage this account.

“FLYGTA is growing in leaps and bounds and we are delighted to be a part of that, supporting the company with its growth plans and raising its profile among the travel trade and MICE sectors here in Canada,” said Susan Webb, President of VoX International.

“In turn, we are happy to welcome Erin to the VoX family to manage this account and assist in providing the always-crucial training component needed to ensure success.”

A private jet service founded in 2015 in Toronto, Ontario, FLYGTA offers flights out of Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) to over 20 Canadian, US and Caribbean destinations. It also offers routes from an additional five locations across Ontario and Quebec, including Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

In addition to private charters, FLYGTA also operates a popular air taxi service between YTZ and Niagara Falls, YTZ and Kingston, and to the Muskoka region through the summer. FLYGTA Airlines’ private charters from YYZ (that service Florida, The Bahamas, and the Turks & Caicos Islands) and scheduled flights from YTZ may be booked online at FLYGTA.com.

“Our airline is the only 100% charter operation in Canada,” said Chris Nowrouzi, CEO of FLYGTA Airlines. “We focus on one thing and one thing only – best-in-class service in the sector – and are able to do so while also offering private jet transportation at unmatched prices. We look forward to working with the team at VoX to connect with travel advisors and provide them with more alternatives for their clients.”

Whether it’s for leisure or corporate clients, travel advisors can go online to FLYGTA.com to book – and earn commission on – all the company’s scheduled flights and private charters. Coming soon, advisors will also be able to access FLYGTA’s services through GDS, the first private charter company to offer this option to the travel trade community.

Oddleifson said Agents who are interested in booking a FLYGTA private charter or an air taxi to Niagara or Kingston may do so directly on their website at www.flygta.com or by calling 1-888-470-4595.

“There are over 20 routes from YYZ or YTZ available on the website for booking, or if they are interested in a custom quote, they may complete a quote request through the website and a FLYGTA Airlines sales representative will work directly with the agent to customize a flight specific to the clients’ needs.”

And … coming soon FLYGTA Airlines private jet charters will also be available to book through GDS.
