Gazelle Travel started business in 1976
and now, twenty five years on, it is one of the UK's leading
flight only suppliers.
The company identified an ethnic (Asian) gap or niche in the
market and persuaded BOAC (now British Airways) to bring into
service a new route (LHR - ISB). Gazelle put the first passenger
on the inaugural flight on 1st April 1976. The company is
now one of the top 5 revenue earners in the North of England
for airlines such as British Airways, Emirate Airlines, Singapore
Airlines and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
Historically
Gazelle Travel specialised in ethnic niche markets (e.g. Pakistan,
India) but realised that it had much more potential by selling
direct to the public because of the low cost fares it was
offering to Travel agents throughout the UK.
In September 1999 Gazelle Travel opened an office
in the centre of Newcastle, to target the public directly.
On the back
of this Gazelle Travel now supports retail worldwide travel
at its head office in Bradford.
In October 2005 Gazelle Travel opened an office in Glasgow to offer the same high quality service and low cost fares to Scottish customers.
Gazelle travel services every
departure point in the UK to all worldwide destinations.
The company has a two fold objective,
firstly, to constantly develop its products and markets and
secondly, to offer an even better service.
