Additional negotiated rates now available in the Egencia Preferred Rate program for customers globally
London, UK – March 2, 2022 – Egencia customers can now access special air fares negotiated with domestic and international airlines by American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT) through the existing Egencia Preferred Rate (EPR) program. The program expansion is part of an accelerated investment in Egencia and delivers Amex GBT’s unrivalled content and value to Egencia customers.
Amex GBT’s negotiated rates span more than 90 airlines, saving customers up to 25% on top air routes. The expanded EPR program allows customers to access even more discounted fares, in addition to more competitive, differentiated content, route coverage and fully flexible terms and conditions on key airlines and routes.
“Since Amex GBT’s acquisition of Egencia closed in November last year, we have been focused on using our new ownership structure to deliver tangible, bankable value to customers,” said Mark Hollyhead, President of Egencia. “In a short space of time, we have brought even more choice to the EPR program for more substantial saving opportunities and differentiated content.”
For organizations that have pre-existing corporate deals with airlines in place, the EPR program helps fill in inventory and discount gaps. For customers without the volume to negotiate preferred deals, the EPR program now lets them benefit from the unrivalled rates and fares in travel’s most valuable marketplace. No minimum-spend commitments apply, enabling customers of all sizes and segments to access savings.
From today, travellers and travel arrangers can access new discounted rates through Egencia’s existing, easy-to-use, integrated multi-channel booking experience. In addition, corporate travel managers will continue to benefit from Egencia’s risk management and reporting tools and Egencia Savings Finder for Air.
Rajiv Ahluwalia, SVP Partner Solutions & Supply Marketplace at Amex GBT, added: “Amex GBT is creating the most valuable marketplace in travel and we are excited to give Egencia customers the opportunity to be a part of it. Together we will continue to drive access to more content and additional savings for our customers, while strengthening the value of our supplier relationships.”
