MONTREAL — AirlinePros Canada has announced that TAG Guatemala is now an active member of BSP Canada.

TAG Airlines, which has appointed AirlinePros Canada to oversee BSP Coordination across the country, has opted for mass e-plating (general concurrence). This means that all fully IATA-registered travel organizations in Canada can start issuing tickets on TAG Guatemala (5U) e-stock without further delay.

5U can be booked in all major GDS systems including Amadeus, Sabre and Apollo.

At this time 5U is progressively introducing credit card acceptance forms of payment via GDS systems in Canada. This is in addition to standard cash transactions.

Agents may claim 3% commission POS on 5U operated flights with 5U published fares.

“Central America not only is a growing region for FIT and tourism-related travel, but ongoing bi-lateral business activities and the fact that Canada hosts a large immigrant diaspora from Central America will be of special interests to those that require ongoing regional connections once arriving in that region,” said Karl Müller, Canada Director of AirlinePros. “TAG Guatemala operates a growing route network that is appealing, along with offering accessible published airfares.”

5U maintains a diversified route network that connects Guatemala with various destinations in Honduras, El Salvador, Mexico and Belize, he added. “We look forward to supporting TAG Guatemala in reaching their market objectives.”
