Vacation Express Announces New Airline Partnership With Interjet

New Partnership Comes as Vacation Express Increases Charter Gateways to Eighteen


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - May 01, 2015) - Vacation Express, one of the country's largest tour operators, announced today a new partnership with Interjet, a Mexican airline headquartered in Mexico City, Mexico. This announcement comes after Vacation Express and Interjet completed a very successful winter travel season, departing from Cleveland, Columbus, Nashville, Newark and Pittsburgh. The two newest gateways for Interjet departures are Richmond and Charlotte that recently started on Monday, April 6 and Raleigh that will begin June 14. These weekly, exclusive non-stop flights will continue through the summer and some are extended through the fall for travelers to visit destinations in Mexico.

"This is our first year working with Interjet and we could not be happier with this new partnership," said Kevin Hernandez, Vice President of Sales and Digital Strategy for Vacation Express. "The reaction from most passengers has been fantastic and they love the extra leg room for every seat as well as the flawlessly maintained state-of-the-art airplanes. Many have commented that it has far exceeded their last flight experience taken within the US."

"As we increased our charter gateways in the United States, we needed a very reliable partner for our passengers," said Gantt Cookson, Vice President of Operations. "After looking at their excellent reputation, superb on-time performance, and the beautiful, state-of-the-art aircraft; it was clear that Interjet was the best solution for Vacation Express' continued growth."
