talixo signs business travel transfers…

Global transfers operator, talixo, has signed a worldwide partnership to provide pre-booked ground transfers for Flight Centre Travel Group’s flagship corporate travel businesses.

The agreement expands on talixo’s existing relationship with the travel agency group, which encompasses pre-booked transfers for their leisure travel division and UK corporate travel branches. 

Now, consultants worldwide working for Flight Centre Travel Group’s business travel brands, including FCM Travel and Corporate Traveller, will be able to offer competitive, reliable airport transfers and point-to-point rides in 1,100+ cities and 130+ countries globally, pre-bookable via their GDS.

Despite providing essential connectivity, transfers remain an overlooked part of the business travel experience, with corporates often working with a limited number of local operators in key office locations, or leaving team members to make their own arrangements.

Jens Luik, head of global sales of talixo, said“Business travellers want to know that no matter where they travel, they have access to safe, reliable transportation. 

“As the leading global operator of pre-booked ground transfers, our local and tech-enabled fleet operation allows us to deliver consistent, high-quality ride experiences on a global scale.

“This gives travel management partners the confidence to provide their corporate clients with a value-adding end-to-end offering that brings first-mile-last-mile costs under control. 

“This is an area where Flight Centre Travel Group, in particular, excels, and we’re delighted to be expanding our partnership to enhance their offering to corporate clients and their business travellers.”

Mandy Dunbier, global supply partnerships manager of Flight Centre Travel Group, added: “Business trips don’t start or end at the airport or train station. Providing a true end-to-end service not only gives our corporate clients confidence that their travellers are receiving the best in duty of care, but it also makes their journeys easier and less stressful, which in turn drives greater policy compliance, visibility, and cost control.

“Our partnership with talixo gives our branches and regional partners access to competitive, quality standard car services, perfect for day-to-day rides and transfers where premium limousine services wouldn’t be appropriate. 

“Combined with talixo’s extensive geographic coverage and globally standardised experience, it reinforces our best-in-market end-to-end offering to clients worldwide.”
