TAL Aviation and Cathay Pacific extend their partnership by adding Croatia and Slovenia to the markets which TAL Aviation Balkans is representing and servicing on behalf of the airline. TAL Aviation Balkans has been the General Sales Agents (GSA) for Cathay Pacific and Cathay Dragon in Serbia and Montenegro for some years and has increased the awareness of the airline products in the respective markets and grown revenues dramatically.

Now customers in the Croatian and Slovenian markets will benefit from the partnership. TAL Aviation Balkans' sales teams, led by Country Manager Mr Veljko Markovic will be providing full services for Cathay Pacific and its affiliate, Cathay Dragon to the travelling public through the travel agents. Reservations & ticketing will be handled by the office in Belgrade, with sales support provided in Croatia for the Croatian market by Ms Snjezana Kupres, Sales Manager, Croatia.

At the end of last month, Cathay Pacific announced its continued growth through its Hong Kong hub with plans to launch pioneering non-stop routes linking Hong Kong with Brussels, Dublin and Copenhagen, from summer 2018. These developments will further strengthen the airline’s network and provide new trade and tourism opportunities between Asia and Europe.

Cathay Dragon is the premium, full-serviced regional airline of the Cathay Pacific group. An affiliate member of oneworld, the Hong Kong-based international airline, was established in 1985 and today operates a fleet of 46 passenger aircraft and serving 53 regional destinations, including 23 cities in Mainland China.
