Gambia Bird Flights Now Bookable Online – Airline Continues to Invest in on-Board Services


“Low Fare Calender” displays cheapest tickets for entire month -
additional legroom in Economy Class
BANJUL, The Gambia--()--Travel within West Africa and to Europe has just become even easier to book: all flights by Gambia Bird can now be booked online through the airline’s website. Customers can search for seats either for a specific travel date or in a “low fare calendar” which displays the cheapest tickets for an entire month. Until now, Gambia Bird tickets have been exclusively available through the airline’s telephone booking hotline, tour operators and travel agents. Gambia Bird serves Banjul (The Gambia) weekly from Barcelona.
Karsten Balke, Chief Commercial Officer of Gambia Bird Airlines: “The launch of our new online booking system sees us responding to a request that was voiced by many customers: they wanted to be able to book our flights directly and easily from their homes, the office or while on the road. Passengers who prefer to receive personal advice can continue to book through our hotline or a travel agency partner.”
In addition to its investments in online services, Gambia Bird also continues to improve its on-board offering. In Economy Class passengers can expect even more comfort from the end of April 2013, as most of the seats in this class now have a larger seat pitch of 31 inches or more. Additionally, passengers in Premium Class are served an exclusive three-course menu and have a greater baggage allowance. All Gambia Bird flights are operated in a two-class configuration with Premium and Economy Class.
In the summer months, which usually see less traffic, Gambia Bird Airlines removed selected services from the flight schedule. One Airbus A319 aircraft, which was sent to Germany for maintenance work at the end of March, will be back in service for Gambia Bird Airline mid-September for the Winter Flight Schedule 2013/2014, and will be used by Germania, Gambia Bird’s sister airline, in Summer 2013.
Founded in 2012, Gambia Bird Air Lines is headquartered in Banjul, The Gambia. The company is financially backed by German airline group Germania. Gambia Bird provides scheduled flights across West Africa including The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone as well as to Europe. It operates state-of-the-art Airbus A319-100 aircraft, which offer safe, comfortable and fuel-efficient transport. www.gambiabird.com
