Talixo agrees partnership with Flight Centre Travel Group

Ground transport specialist Talixo has inked a new worldwide partnership with Flight Centre Travel Group’s corporate travel brands.

Berlin-based Talixo, which specialises in providing pre-booked private transfers, already works with Flight Centre’s leisure travel division and its UK-based corporate travel agencies.

This new global agreement will allow Flight Centre’s TMC brands, including FCM Travel and Corporate Traveller, to offer Talixo’s airport transfers and point-to-point rides to their clients via their GDSs.

Jens Luik, Talixo’s head of global sales, said: “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 the latest deal for Talixo, which last month announced a strategic partnership with corporate ground transport platform HQ.

Mandy Dunbier, global supply partnerships manager at Flight Centre Travel Group, said: “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.”
