The acquisition further strengthens AVIAREPS presence in Italy and expands its portfolio of expertise and clients in the aviation sector

AVIAREPS, the global leader in aviation, tourism, and hospitality representation with 76 offices in 70 countries worldwide, today announced the acquisition of Spazio GSA, a long-established Italian company specialised in the commercial representation of airlines and organisations in the tourism sector.

Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Rome, Spazio GSA has operated in the Italian market for almost fifty years as a General Sales Agent, offering sales & marketing representation, reservation and ticketing, commercial consultancy, market intelligence, customer service and training services. Over the course of its long history, the company has developed an in-depth knowledge of the Italian market and strong relationships with Italian tour operators and the travel trade. Spazio GSA currently represents well-known airlines such as China Airlines, Pegasus, Bangkok Airways, Air Niugini, Smartwings and Afriqiyah Airways.

The acquisition is a further step in AVIAREPS’ growth strategy and significantly strengthens the company’s presence in Italy, combining AVIAREPS’ international network and broad range of services with Spazio GSA’s experience, expertise and established relationships in the local market.

Spazio GSA will ensure continuity in its relationships with clients and partners, while at the same time benefiting from AVIAREPS’ global network, resources, international expertise, as well as its strategy and management.

Edgar Lacker, CEO of AVIAREPS: “The acquisition of Spazio GSA represents an important step forward in strengthening our presence in the Italian market by establishing an office in Rome. The company’s long-standing experience, in-depth knowledge of the aviation sector and the relationships developed over almost fifty years of activity fit perfectly with AVIAREPS’ global network and service portfolio. Together, we will be able to offer our clients even broader expertise and new growth opportunities in Italy and in international markets.”
