Brussels Airlines in partnership with a one hundred percent Liberian owned transport service business, Infinity Shuttle Service have signed a partnership agreement in Monrovia.
The agreement was signed on Thursday, December 20, 2018 at Brussels Airlines new location at the Boulevard Palace in the Sinkor suburb of the Liberian capital.
According to the agreement, Infinity Shuttle Service will offer passengers using the city check-in a special, low-cost fare to and from the airport.
The partnership is expected to have some environmental impact by reducing traffic and carbon emissions when the number of vehicles plying the route to RIA daily is significantly reduced with effort from Infinity service.
Speaking during the signing of the agreement, the owner of Infinity Shuttle Service, Madam Patricia Adadevoh thanked the Brussels Airlines management team for proposing the partnership.
Adadevoh said this partnership will have a lot of benefit on passengers, noting that “None of us likes sitting in heavy traffic. The fewer cars we have on our roads, the lighter the traffic will be.”
If 20 passengers traveling on the same Brussels Airlines flight are heading to the same destination which is RIA, then it makes sense to have one shuttle bus take them there, instead of putting 20 cars on the road,” she stressed
Madam she indicated this is the opportunity that address the issue. She added, “Now that Brussels Airlines office is located just one block from our office in Sinkor, it will be easy for passengers to get to the airport after using the city check-in.”
She maintained the company was launched in April this year, and have proven beyond any measure it is ability to provide quality, on-time service to passengers. In signing this agreement with us, something she said is the reason Brussels Airlines management team trusted their ability to continue to deliver high quality service and “we will not let them down,” she narrated.
Under the partnership agreement, she explained the special airport shuttle rate for Brussels Airlines city check-in passengers is US$50 round trip, or US$30 one-way to get to the airport. “The special rate goes into effect January 1, 2019 and is for city check-in passengers only,” she asserted.
Furthermore, Brussels Airlines Country Manager, William Racinne said a lot of their passengers are still discovering their city check-in service, something he said is a unique service in Africa to help people to commute stress free to the airport without the weight of their heavy luggage.
“This service has been designed especially for the countries where the airport is more than 30 miles away from the capital. Today, we are happy to partner with Infinity Shuttle Service – a dedicated team who offers a reliable shared-commuting bus ride to the airport. We believe that our new office located in Boulevard Palace Hotel on Tubman Boulevard will bring more passengers to use our city-check in and also, will incite them to share their journey to the airport,” he stated.
