Aviareps and its South American partner Strategic Aviation Planning (S.A.P. Chile), a local aviation representative in Chile, have decided to intensify their long-standing successful collaboration and combine forces. The world’s leading aviation and tourism representation company and its franchise partner have thus established a new joint venture under the name Aviareps Chile Ltda., in which Aviareps holds the majority interest. The premises are located in the heart of Santiago, the country’s capital and major economic centre.

Roxana Otero is heading Aviareps Chile Ltda. as General Manager. Together with her team of four highly motivated professionals she manages a client portfolio of seven airlines (Brussels Airlines, Czech Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, LOT Polish Airlines, El Al Airlines and SAS), one hotel chain (Occidental Hotels & Resorts) and one car rental company (Thrifty Car Rentals).

“According to the Global Competitiveness Report of 2009-2010 Chile ranks as the most competitive nation far ahead of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. As South America is a very significant market for Aviareps, we decided  to enter into a joint venture with our partner in Chile after almost ten years of successful franchise partnership. We are very proud to be adding more local personnel to our growing company network with this new foundation”, states Michael Gaebler, CEO and founder of Aviareps.
