APG FRANCE

APG France is a sales agency for airlines in France. It has worked in the market for more than three decades. It sells and markets more than 25 airlines and one rail company. It gives them sales, marketing and ticketing support.

The company has offices in Paris and Marseille. A Lyon office is planned. The site says the offices are open to the public because the client relationship matters. Mobile sales teams also work across the country, close to travel agents.

APG France is a founding member of the APG Network. The network works in more than 170 countries and has more than 130 offices. The site calls it the largest worldwide network of airline sales representatives, known as GSSA. A GSSA sells and services airline products for carriers in places where they have no office.

The products and services fit passenger and cargo airlines. They help airlines grow sales at a variable cost. The APG network takes a wide view of distribution. Its aim is to cut costs and raise the income an airline can earn.

One tool is interline ticketing. It gives agents access to more than 165 airlines, whether or not they sell in the BSP France. The BSP is a system that settles ticket sales between airlines and agents. The company also runs APG Direct Connect, an online booking portal that uses NDC. NDC is a way for airlines to sell directly to travel agents.

The team page lists staff in sales, marketing, product management, NDC back office and the call center. One team member has worked at APG France for more than 28 years. Others have more than 30 years in the group or in tourism.

The website has pages on its airlines and services, its team and its offices. It also has a section for jobs and contact details for agents and airlines.
