Chalair Aviation has appointed APG as its General Sales Agent for Spain and Andorra to manage regional marketing and sales. This move supports the airline's upcoming launch of scheduled services from Andorra-La Seu d'Urgell Airport in January 2027.
Why it matters
The partnership allows Chalair to establish a market presence in Spain and Andorra without creating independent sales offices. This infrastructure is essential for the airline to successfully launch and sustain new routes from the growing regional airport.
Andorra-La Seu d'Urgell Airport reported a 14% increase in passenger volume compared to the previous year. Chalair will initially operate two weekly frequencies on its routes to Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, and Paris-Orly.
