Wings Travel Management is expanding operations into the Saudia Arabian market.
The TMC, which specialises in the oil and gas sector, is planning to open a new office in Saudia Arabia in early 2016. A spokesperson said the company is the first stage of a formal “complex” process.
Wings said the new office will help strengthen its presence in the region, enabling staff to provide more localised support to Wings’ oil and gas clients.
Wings Travel Management CEO Tony Sofianos said: “We have been servicing many large oil and gas, marine, and corporate clients in the Middle East for a number of years, primarily from our operations in Dubai, and supported by our operations in the UK, Africa and the Americas.
“The Middle East remains an important market for these industries, and the Dubai operation served as a shared service centre for our global operations.”
The move into Saudia Arabia follows moves to other oil and gas locations such as Houston, Rio de Janeiro, Aberdeen, Dubai, Lagos, Luanda, and Cape Town.
