MARKET NEWS
By Managing Director/CEO Karin Gert Nielsen
Summer holiday is over and things are busy again! Travel trade as well as other industries that might
influence our work are developing and creating new partnerships, and consumers have started
planning their next holiday using new ways of finding inspiration and booking their trip. Please read
more below:
Aller Media A/S, a Danish Aller Holding A/S subsidiary with extensive activities in Norway, Sweden
and Finland, has acquired 70 per cent of the shares of The Danish travel agency Nyhavn Rejser A/S.
Nyhavn Rejser specializes in tailored tours and cruises and achieved revenues of around DKK 260
million in 2012. Aller Media A/S is a leading Danish publisher of newspapers, weeklies and
magazines.
British Airways and US budget carrier Jetblue Airways have signed an interline agreement connecting
their networks on America's east coast.
The two airlines have agreed to code-share on 18 daily British Airways flights between (mainly)
Heathrow and the US, over 100 onward British Airways routes and over 50 JetBlue routes within the
US. Code-share flights will be available on flights to and from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Orlando
(MCO) and Washington Dulles (IAD). Code-share flights will also be available on British Airways allbusiness class flights between London City Airport (LCY) and JFK as well as on OpenSkies flights
between JFK and Paris (ORY).
According to a recent survey by TradeDoubler, a Swedish internet marketing company, nearly two
thirds of Swedish travelers avoid using a traditional travel agency to book their vacations. A
staggering 62 percent answered that they prefer to plan their own vacation, confirming the
importance of having a digital presence in the market.
AirBerlin is looking to attract Danish customers on routes to USA. While Scandinavian Airlines System
(SAS) is no longer a partner in the lucrative Atlantic Plus Plus joint venture with United Airlines,
Lufthansa and Air Canada, AirBerlin now sees their chance to promote its routes from Berlin to
Miami, New York and Fort Meyers, and from Düsseldorf to Chicago and Los Angeles.
SAS is expanding their American Airlines collaboration and has added Virgin America as a partner for
US domestic travel. Open fares: Virgin America will be added as an option to book in all sales
channels. Closed fares: The collaboration means that both Virgin America and American Airlines will
be available as an option for travel agencies, tour operators and corporate accounts to book.
Yours sincerely,
Karin Gert Nielsen
Managing Director/CEO

PR AND COMMUNICATION ACTIVITIES
August was a busy for us. We are getting ready for the press event to take place on 5 September in
Stockholm where we are expecting close to 40 journalists. We have also seen an overwhelming
interest in our July newsletter regarding surfing so we are still expecting stories coming up. We also
dealt with the Yosemite Rim Fire where we see the media interest decrease and we expect it to be
soon forgotten once it is out.
