The exclusive gathering reflects Internova’s mission to empower its advisor network with exceptional programs, products and support

NEW YORK (November 12, 2025) – Internova Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel services companies representing more than 100,000 travel advisors worldwide, hosted its annual Air Vendor Day at its midtown Manhattan headquarters, marking the event’s debut in New York City.

The half-day program brought together travel advisors and more than two dozen leading domestic and international airlines in an intimate, high-impact setting designed to strengthen relationships and drive new business opportunities. Previously held in London, Air Vendor Day has quickly become one of Internova’s signature platforms for fostering collaboration between advisors and air partners.

“Air Vendor Day is a perfect example of how Internova creates unique opportunities for our advisors to connect directly with the world’s top airline partners,” said Peter Vlitas, Executive Vice President, Partner Relations at Internova. “By facilitating meaningful dialogue in a personal setting, we help our advisors stay ahead of industry trends, deepen their expertise and ultimately deliver unparalleled experiences to travelers.”

Throughout the day, airline representatives shared updates on new routes, technology investments and enhancements to the customer experience. Advisors also engaged in one-on-one meetings with carriers, forging the human connections that remain at the heart of the travel industry.

In total, the event welcomed more than 100 attendees and featured 34 vendor partners, including: Air Canada; Air China; Air Europa; Air India; Air New Zealand; Air Tahiti Nui; Avianca; Avis; Bermuda Air; Cathay Pacific; China Airlines; CONDOR; COPA Airlines; Emirates; Enterprise Car Rentals; Etihad; EVA Airways; Hahn Air; Hertz; Icelandair; ITA Airways; JetBlue; Kenya Airways; La Compagnie; LATAM; LOT Polish; Porter; Qantas; Qatar Airways; Saudia; Singapore Airlines; Sixt Car Rental; TAP Air Portugal; and Turkish Airlines.

Air Vendor Day underscores Internova’s mission: to empower its network of travel advisors with the most exceptional programs, products and support to deliver unparalleled experiences to the traveler. From exclusive events like Air Vendor Day to advanced technology tools such as SNAP, Travel Leaders Network’s easy-to-use booking platform powered by Sabre, Internova is committed to giving advisors the resources they need to increase earnings, grow their businesses and provide unmatched service.

The importance of air travel to agency success is clear. According to the American Society of Travel Advisors, U.S. travel agencies sold 40 percent of airline tickets in 2023, making airline sales a critical source of revenue for advisors worldwide.

“Internova is proud to serve as the powerhouse parent company that unites advisors and supplier partners under one umbrella,” added Vlitas. “Our scale, reach and relationships enable us to deliver opportunities that no other organization in travel can match.”
