TORONTO — The Travel Agent Next Door has once again achieved Platinum status in Air Canada’s Circle of Excellence Agency Reward and Recognition Program, marking the third consecutive year the host agency has earned the designation.

“We are honoured on behalf of our agent partners to be once again named to the platinum level of the Air Canada Circle of Excellence,” said Flemming Friisdahl, CEO of The Travel Agent Next Door. “This is the third year in a row that we have achieved this designation.”

Air Canada’s Circle of Excellence is a global recognition program designed to acknowledge travel agencies for their performance and contribution to the airline’s business.

According to Kevin Pohlmann, Regional Sales Manager, Air Canada, the Platinum level is the highest tier within the program and recognizes agencies that consistently deliver strong results in both sales and service.

Platinum members receive access to benefits including priority travel services, customized training programs and dedicated support from Air Canada’s sales team.

“These advantages aren’t merely perks – they’re strategic tools designed to empower agents and help them better serve their clientele in an increasingly competitive landscape,” said Pohlmann.

He added: “Congratulations to the Travel Agent Next Door for once again achieving Circle of Excellence Platinum status with Air Canada. Air Canada value’s this partnership and TTAND’s dedication to growing our business together.”
