Greetings friends and colleagues,
While many of our customers enjoyed a great summer vacation, the TAL Aviation team has been extremely busy this past summer season. That is great news for the airlines that we represent and that have seen strong revenue growth trends! We are proud to have released our revamped TAL Aviation website and hope you will find useful the information that we will continuously update there. TAL Aviation has been appointed by IATA as an IBCS Global Distributor and are presently negotiating with several airlines to ease them into BSP via IBCS.
We have expansion plans in hand, and we are looking into growing the TAL Aviation
                                      network into new global markets, where the demand and commercial growth is present.
                                      Trust you all experienced good weather and had nice holidays!
