According to an agreement signed by Air China and Siemens on August 16, 2011, Air China becomes the first provider to be considered by Siemens when it comes to global travel solutions. The signing ceremony was attended by Air China Commercial Committee Vice Chairman Shi Zengqi and Siemens World Procurement Vice President Bernd Schulz.
The agreement covers markets of China, Germany, Italy, Russia, Brazil and Spain, satisfying the needs of Siemens for the integrated management of corporate travels and further cementing Air China’s position as the country’s largest carrier to Europe serving corporate customers.
Mr. Bernd Schulz indicated that cooperation is of great importance to the two giants.
Air China is China’s only national flag carrier and a Star Alliance member. In addition to commercial operations, it also provides special flight services for the country’s state leaders on official visit to other countries.
