AirlinePros International Appointed BSP Representative for Arkia in Canada

“Our role is not only to manage the BSP processes that keep distribution running smoothly, but also to make sure that Arkia is well positioned within Canada’s travel trade ecosystem. We want agencies to have the tools, clarity, and support they need to sell Arkia with confidence. That means responsive servicing, transparent reconciliations, and trade-friendly guidance.”

AirlinePros International is pleased to announce its appointment as the official Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) representative for Arkia in Canada, marking an expansion of its North American cooperation with the airline following a strong and successful ARC representation partnership in the United States. This expanded appointment reflects Arkia’s confidence in AirlinePros International’s proven delivery, market expertise, and ability to provide consistent, reliable support to the travel trade across North America.

Through this appointment, AirlinePros will streamline Arkia’s participation in BSP Canada – enabling efficient ticketing, encrypted data handling, secure settlement processes, and reliable agency communication. In addition to these core functions, AirlinePros Canada will provide commercial support designed to help Canadian travel agencies understand, access, and confidently sell Arkia’s scheduled services, ensuring the airline’s product is visible, accessible, and trade-ready from day one.

“Our role is not only to manage the BSP processes that keep distribution running smoothly, but also to make sure that Arkia is well positioned within Canada’s travel trade ecosystem,” said Fadhila Boutalbi, Chief Commercial Officer of AirlinePros Canada. “We want agencies to have the tools, clarity, and support they need to sell Arkia with confidence.

Arkia’s appointment of AirlinePros reflects a commitment to strengthening the airline’s commercial reach in high-potential international markets. With Canadian travellers showing increasing interest in Mediterranean leisure routes and onward European connections, AirlinePros will support Arkia by enhancing its trade presence, promoting awareness among agencies, and ensuring smooth adoption of the carrier in GDS channels.

With BSP Canada support now in place, Canadian travel sellers can activate Arkia (IZ/238) in their GDS systems and begin issuing tickets more easily. Agencies will benefit from local trade assistance, onboarding guidance, and practical commercial support, helping them match evolving client needs with Arkia’s expanding network.
