New co-operation for SKY express with the growing network of easyJet

Greek airline SKY express has joined Dohop’s Worldwide by easyJet network.

SKY express is part of the co-operation programme with the Dohop network, in order to expand its destinations as well as to offer long-haul flights throughout Europe and beyond.

The carrier, which operates domestic flights and flights to major European destinations, is now integrated into the Worldwide by easyJet network.

Dohop’s virtual interline technology will enable SKY express passengers to combine affordable flights to major destinations across Europe and the Middle East.

Passengers wishing to purchase a ticket to any of the Worldwide destinations will be able to do so with a single booking process.

The alliance with Dohop is in addition to SKY express’s interconnection deals with American Airlines, Air Serbia, Qatar Airways, Air France, KLM, Middle East Airlines, Cyprus Airways and Condor.

Sarah Hanan, Dohop’s commercial director, said: “Since developing Worldwide by easyJet, we have been able to open new global destinations to low-cost airlines around the world.

“Our virtual interline technology enables partnerships between airlines and connects travellers with a seamless, quick and easy transfer through one of our connection hubs across Europe. We welcome SKY express to our growing network of partner airlines and look forward to opening new commercial opportunities for them.”

Sophie Dekkers, chief commercial officer at easyJet, said: “At easyJet we’re committed to making travel as easy as possible as well as providing great value and more choice for our customers when they travel.

“We are delighted to be working with SKY express to open up access to even more new destinations this summer and explore all that Greece and its islands have to offer, through our innovative Worldwide by easyJet platform.

“We look forward to taking customers on their long-awaited holidays and we are confident these additions to our Worldwide service will be very popular with those looking for a seamless way to explore more of the beautiful sun-kissed islands that Greece has to offer.

“We have been delighted with the appetite of partner airlines to expand Worldwide across our network thanks to our reputation for great value fares, excellent customer service, and our strong positions at Europe’s leading airports and we remain focused on offering our unique connections service at more major airports across our network.”

SKY express commercial director, Yiannis Lidakis, said: “We want to thank easyJet for our co-operation. We continue our efforts for continuous growth and this gives us the opportunity to have more new collaborations with important companies in our field. This co-operation is of strategic importance for us because its main goal is to offer our passengers more options, but also to strengthen the potential of our country as a dynamic travel destination.”
