Johannesburg, 8th February 2017. Last night, Hahn Air hosted a networking dinner for its top travel agent partners in South Africa. The event provided the opportunity to meet Hahn Air’s Vice President Sales and Agency Distribution, Kimberley Long, who pays her first visit to the country.

“South Africa is a key market for Hahn Air”, said Kimberley Long. “In fact, it is one of our top markets. The potential is enormous and the market is growing as travel agencies have increased their business with Hahn Air by 10% in 2016 compared to 2015. The support of our partners has been vital to helping drive Hahn Air's substantial growth in South Africa, and we hope this event conveys our appreciation for their efforts.”
Candy Kasonkomona, Hahn Air’s Director Global Account Management for the region, added: “With 70% of travel agencies in South Africa already trusting in our solutions, we have established Hahn Air as the leading ticketing specialist in the market. We are proud that our travel agency partners see us as a reliable and valuable service provider who is making their lives easier.”
