CMAC acquires Dutch accomodation business

CMAC Group has again expanded its global operation through acquisition, purchasing Netherlands-based Airline Services & Accommodation Partner.

Airline Services & Accommodation Partner (AS & AP) supports more than 40 airline partners across three Netherlands airports, including the country’s main international airport, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.

The company's core service is to re-accommodate disrupted passengers and crew, booking more than 25,000 room nights each year. 

This is the third acquisition that CMAC Group has made in recent months, following its purchase of Suntransfers, one of Europe’s largest airport transfer companies, in September 2022 and Coach Hire Comparison in June 2023.

The strategic move allows AS & AP’s partners to book alternative transport and re-accommodation solutions across Europe and beyond.  

CMAC can now offer its clients an on-the-ground presence for their passengers and crew across The Netherlands.  

Wim Kanon, founder and managing director of Airline Services & Accommodation Partner, said: “This move represents an exciting opportunity for AS & AP to expand its reach and capabilities and drive further value for clients and hotel partners, many of whom I’ve worked with for over 14 years. 

“I look forward to working with CMAC’s team and believe that the combined strengths of our two companies will create a powerful force in the market."

Peter Slater, CEO of CMAC Group, added: “We’re pleased to welcome AS & AP into the CMAC Group. This strategic move aligns with our vision for growth and further strengthens our proposition for airline clients.”
