Company History
TWASP is primarily organized to be the GSA for then Trans World Airlines in 1971 (TWA). In 1976 the Company then became the GSA for Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAUDIA) which then started operations between Saudi Arabia and the Philippines in 1982. SAUDIA started with 3 weekly flights which then expanded to daily services up to 10 weekly services. 1979 Royal Brunei Airlines (RBA) appointed TWASP as its GSA taking over from its previous GSA (Philippine Airlines).
In 1994 Canadian Airline(CANADIAN) came on board and then started services between the two countries in 1995 with four (4) weekly flights. Later Jet Airways, Oman Air and Ethiopian Airlines joined as Off-line carriers. Cathay Pacific, China Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Grand Air, Silangan Airline appointed TWASP whether as sub-GSA or as Preferred Passenger Sales Agent for Cebu and Davao branches.
The entry of Electronic tickets (E-Ticket), On-Line bookings-engines opened the market to cross-border sales making representing on-line carriers difficult. Off-line carriers are more favorable and viable versus on-line carriers.
In 1994 the Company expanded its GSA activities to include cruise lines. The first to appoint TWASP as GSA was Holland America Lines. To date the Company has Seabourn, Costa, Disney Cruise, AMA Waterways either as GSA or as PPSA.
