Classic Collection has added Ryanair flights as a component part of its package holidays.
The 100% trade-focused operator said it will start selling Ryanair flights through its network of more than 3,000 travel agent partners in the coming weeks.
Si Morris-Green, B2B director at Classic Collection, said: “We’re really looking forward to working with the UK’s largest airline group.
“This development comes as a direct result of Classic Collection being able to leverage part of the Ryanair agreement with our parent company On the Beach.
“It will allow our trade partners to offer their customers a much wider selection of regional departures and thousands of new package holidays.
“These will be available with the highly competitively priced airfares that are associated with the Ryanair brand.”
A new dedicated contact centre team will service the operator’s bookings with a Ryanair component to ensure that agents and their customers are up to date with the information they need in real time.
Morris-Green added: “Ryanair flights represent a sizeable, value-focused addition to our extensive range of existing airline partners.
“Now that our parent company has an authorised arrangement in place, we will be able to reward our trade partners with more competitively priced product and travel options from Classic Collection than ever before.”
Following extensive testing, bookings will be able to be made via Classic Collection’s agent-only booking portal in the next few weeks.
