British Airways and Corsair International sign a commercial agreement
As part of the development of their respective networks and in order to offer customers a wider choice of destinations, British Airways and Corsair International have signed a commercial agreement allowing their customers with connecting flights at Orly airport to benefit from attractive tarifs.
Valid for all British Airways journeys from London and all OpenSkies journeys from New York to any Corsair destination (and vice-versa), this agreement enables both companies to strengthen its network from Paris Orly airport, to offer a larger choice of destinations and to issue a single ticket for the entire length of these journeys.
Moreover, this represents a real opportunity for customers to take advantage of attractive prices. Indeed, thanks to the implementation of this agreement, the purchase price of a single ticket will be lower than the cost of buying 2 separate tickets.
Thanks to this bilateral agreement, customers can fly from London or New York to Dakar or Abidjan, for example, with a single ticket and still benefit of connections facilities at Orly.Other destinations on the Corsair network are also available. As such, French West Indies,Reunion island, Mauritius island, Madagascar, Mayotte or Canada could all be connected to London via a British Airways flight or New York via an OpenSkies flight.
British Airways is a member of the oneworld alliance, largely represented at Orly West. Proximity to the Corsair International airline, which operates out of Orly South, will be promoted thanks to a project launched by Aéroports de Paris that aims to join the two air terminals by 2017. Passengers of the three airlines will enjoy greater comfort and highquality services as well as optimised connection times.
“This agreement is a great opportunity for our passengers and those of our partner. It offers a greater choice of destinations and frequencies, more seamlessly. In addition, our common presence at Paris Orly airport is a key advantage, allowing us to optimize our clients' travel experience” says Patrick Malval, RCM Western Europe of British Airways and General Manager of OpenSkies.
Pascal de Izaguirre, CEO of Corsair International, comments : "I am delighted with the signing of this agreement with British Airways, a leader in the airline sector. This agreement answers a shared will to develop and strengthen our respective services and to meet the demands of our customers who want to benefit from a wider choice of destinations."
