Abacus keeps its eyes on the ground
Abacus connected travel agents have gained access to ground travel and airport services in 500 airports and cities across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America as a result of a new partnership with Ground Asia.
Personalised services including post-paid chauffeurs, fixed-price airport transfers and fast-track immigration assistance has become available on Abacus’ network via Abacus eServices.
Research by Ground Asia estimates that 15.7 million Asian corporate and high-end leisure international fliers spend US$2.3 billion a year on ad hoc ground transfers (such as airport limos, private hire car, hotel limos or chauffeur drive) for their journeys to and/or from airports and around cities.
Brett Henry, vice president, marketing, Abacus International, said airports transfers are the most common service failure at foreign airports, and a source of stress and difficulty for travel bookers and travellers.
“Moreover, transfers are typically the most dangerous part of a foreign trip, as they often occur in an uninsured vehicle.
“Through our partnership with Ground Asia, travellers can be assured that they have a reliable provider to meet and safely escort them to their destination,â€Henry added.
