Lee Schofield, CEO of Alliance Airlines, in Tokyo for the JTB and Tourism Australia announcement said, “Alliance is excited about the opportunity to work with one of the world’s great travel companies.

“The partnership will allow JTB to develop a range of tours throughout Australia visiting some wonderful and unique destinations in every state,” Schofield said in a statement.

“The tours will range from one-day opportunities such as visiting Uluru to multi-day tours visiting major tourist attractions and cities throughout Australia.

“We look forward to working with JTB over the contract term to significantly increase the range of products available and promote Australia to Japan as a unique holiday destination.”

The initiative is Alliance Airlines’ latest effort to broaden its operations from fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) work to boost revenue in areas such as tourism, aircraft sales, wet and dry leasing and spare parts sales.
