Dnata Travel Group expands partnership with Blacklane

Chauffeur-driven transfers now available through more brands

Dnata Travel Group has expanded its partnership with Blacklane to allow agents to book chauffeur-driven airport transfers through all its brands.

Blacklane’s chauffeur service was already included for guests who book through dnata Travel’s Pure Luxury brand, a division of tailor-made tour operator Gold Medal.

Now, business and leisure agents booking through dnata’s 20-plus brands, including Arabian Adventures, Destination Asia, Gold Medal, Travelbag and Travel Republic, can add Blacklane’s ground transport as an addition to itineraries across 50 different countries.

Dr Jens Wohltorf, co-founder and chief executive of Blacklane, said the expanded partnership “marks a significant milestone” for the two partners “in further distributing our unique product to the right audience” and accelerating growth in the corporate and leisure travel agency segment.

He said dnata Travel Group “boasts some of the most respected names in tailor-made corporate and leisure travel” so “we’re thrilled to join forces and ensure that high quality, reliable chauffeur services are factored into every trip.”

John Bevan, chief executive of dnata Travel Group, added: “We believe working with trusted, like-minded partners strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional travel experiences.

“Welcoming Blacklane as a preferred supplier across our leisure and corporate portfolio reflects our commitment to premium service and long-term value.

“Together, we are creating opportunities for our agency partners to grow, while ensuring every client journey is defined by comfort, reliability and style.”
