Hanoi (VNA) - Deks Air Vietnam JSC and Railclick (Global Representacion Turistica SL) inked a strategic partnership on March 3 to launch an online train ticket booking platform.

Cao Xuan Phu, CEO of Deks Air Vietnam, said this partnership not only introduces innovative and convenient travel solutions to customers but also fosters cooperation in the aviation and tourism industries to develop new product groups.

Railclick is a platform that allows users to search, compare, and book train tickets across Europe. It partners with major railway operators such as Trenitalia, Renfe, Eurostar, TGV, SBB, ÖBB, and DB, as well as various providers in the Americas, Asia, and Africa, ensuring a fast, convenient, and secure booking experience for customers.

Looking ahead, Deks Air Vietnam will also team up with GlobalGSA Group to integrate this platform with Vietnamese railway operators. However, for this to be successful, Vietnam’s railway companies will also need to make certain developments and upgrades, Phu noted.

Lluis Martinez-Ibanez, Chairman and CEO of GlobalGSA Group, said the platform is expected for official launch in Vietnam by mid-March.

Deks Air Vietnam is a member of the international Deks Air Group, which operates in air transportation, airline representation, tourism, and travel services./.
