TORONTO — The Travel Agent Next Door has been named to the Air Canada Circle of Excellence for 2018.

The recognition is an honour that only a few agencies receive in Canada each year, says Flemming Friisdahl, Founder, The Travel Agent Next Door.

“We are extremely proud to have made the Circle of Excellence in such a short time,” says Friisdahl. “We look forward to continuing to grow our business with our preferred partner, Air Canada – and enjoying the privileges that being part of the COE provides our travel professionals.”

The Air Canada Circle of Excellence Award provides access to the Air Canada Elite Customer Care Centre and a dedicated Air Canada Account and Customer Support Team.

Steve Goodfellow, Air Canada Director of Sales, Eastern and Western Canada, says Air Canada is “very proud to welcome The Travel Agent Next Door as one of its newest members of the Circle of Excellence (COE).”

Goodfellow adds: “We have the pleasure of working with many terrific travel partners but to see how quickly TTAND achieved COE is something they should be very proud of. As TTAND’s preferred airline partner we are looking forward to continued mutual success as we enter 2019.

“Thank you to the entire TTAND team for their continued support and partnership. It is truly appreciated and congratulations on achieving COE.”
