about Martinair |
Based
in the Netherlands, Martinair is both a charter and a scheduled airline.
From its hub at Schiphol International Airport near Amsterdam it offers
cheap flights to more than 50 destinations worldwide including 20
destinations within the Mediterranean region.
Known for
its good value airfares, Martinair operates scheduled flights to the
far East, the Caribbean, Central America, the US and Canada via Amsterdam,
with the cheapest airfares available by booking through Major Travel.
Martinair has developed a series of interline agreements with other
airlines, creating a network of connections. It also has a partnership
agreement with main Dutch carrier KLM allowing passengers from many
other European countries to take advantage of its flights and its
great value airfares.
Martinair was started in 1958 by a
Dutch entrepreneur, Martin Schroder, who gave his name to the company.
Originally known as Martin's Air Charter, the airline soon moved to
its base in Schiphol, with its first international flights taking
place to Palma de Mallorca.
Nowadays, more than two million
passengers each year take advantage of the cheap flights from its
Schiphol hub in the Netherlands to sunny destinations.
Martinair
prides itself on friendly and personal service during its flights,
with courteous, well-trained staff, as well as providing the latest
movies and excellent food on board to enhance the customer experience.
It is also offers a great package to keep kids occupied during the
entire flight, featuring a free kids toy or game, access to the fun
programmes on the Children's Channel on the in-flight radio and a
children's meal plan including favourites such as macaroni cheese
and mini pancakes.
Aiming to offer great value for money
and cheap airfares as well as a high standard of service, it is not
surprising that Martinair appeals to a wide range of people.
The
company's fleet consists of 19 wide-bodied aircraft, including Boeing
747s, Boeing 767s, MD-11s and Airbus 320s, which are professionally
maintained at Martinair's Amsterdam base.
As well as its
passenger flights, Martinair operates a successful cargo business
and is the 15th largest cargo carrier in the world. Almost half of
the company's revenues are generated by the cargo flight side of the
business.
Over the years, the airline has taken part in
many social projects, beginning its annual Red Cross day-trip flights
for people with serious illnesses in 1971. Martinair has also flown
medical crews, supplies, food and clothing to the site of many natural
disasters.
The company also owns several subsidiary businesses,
including the Martinair Flying School for pilot training and Martinair
Food, which provides more than 150,000 meals a day to airlines and
canteens.
