Partnership with TailWind Airline Consulting to boost airline retail growth
A consultancy that is focussed on powering the airline industry’s shift to airline retailing is integrating TailWind Airline Consulting.
Through this strategic transaction, Travel in Motion (TiM) says it is further expanding its footprint, ‘driving the transition of the airline industry to Modern Airline Retailing’.
Joachim Zintl, founder and CEO of TailWind, will become a Partner in TiM – deepening the firm’s expertise in revenue accounting and order settlement.
The move signals a new phase of growth for TiM and its partner Oystin Advisory as they broaden their capabilities to meet the growing demand for holistic consultancy in modern airline retailing.
Based in France, Zintl founded TailWind in 2017 and has been at the helm since. With nearly 40 years in the airline and travel industry, he has worked globally across major implementation and advisory projects for leading carriers and technology providers.
His background includes leadership roles at Amadeus, Lufthansa Systems and Eurowings.
“The airline industry is experiencing its biggest transition in decades,” Zintl said.
“That is why I’m proud to bring my experience in revenue accounting and order settlement into a team that’s already setting the pace across airline distribution and retailing. Together, we’re building a consultancy with the capability to support carriers of all sizes, in all markets and across all domains.”
Daniel Friedli, CEO of Travel in Motion, added: “Airlines need expert guidance to make modern retailing a reality. With Joachim on the team, we’re positioned better than ever to deliver exactly that.”
