As zero commission approaches, CWT is prepared

As of 1 January 2005, the zero commission will be introduced in Switzerland.

Following airlines announced that they will introduce the new price model from 01 January 2005: SWISS, American Airlines,Iberia, Air France, KLM and BritishAirways

Other airlines of the respective alliances (Star Alliance, oneworld, SkyTeam) will follow within a short time.

Zero commission - what does this mean? Up till now, airlines always gave travel agents a commission of up to 7%on tickets sold, which partly covered the travel agents' costs. Travel management companies charged a fee to customers with management fee contracts, but passed the airlines' standard commission on to customers. This commission has now been cancelled. For each customer segment, CWT has developed suitable solutions. Small and medium-sized businesses, for example, will benefit from the CWT standard product "Corporate Select", while with larger clients, individual agreements will have to be made to remunerate agents for the costs incurred when booking flights.

CWT is well prepared for the changes and by the end of the year will have made the necessary agreements with all our clients. Information on the latest developments are obtainable from the CWT Account Managers and the Branch Manager in your local CWT agency.

Opening rates begin at EU149 (approx. $180 US) per night through the end of December, 2004.
