Agents can now book flight-inclusive packages under AAT Kings' ATOL license, with CEO Ben Hall hoping "that this move will open doors for more agent partners to start selling our Australia and New Zealand guided holiday packages"
The operator has extended its ATOL license to make the move, with a range of regional airport departures and stop-overs on packages of five nights or more.
Continuing, Ben added, "This development has been a long time in the making, and we are excited to announce this to our trade partners today... not being able to book a flight inclusive package in one place has been a barrier to sale, and we encourage any agent who isn’t already signed up with us to reach out to our UK sales team."
Flights can be confirmed with a £50 per person deposit, with full balance due 60 days before departure, on top of the minimum £200 per person tour deposit.
The launch of ex-UK flights joins other recent developments, including the revamp of the A-Listers trade rewards programme earlier this year and the launch of small group tours next year.
