Wings Travel Management turns 20, goes into Brazil

Tony Sofianos: "This is an important region for our customers, and was the logical next step in the growth of Wings."

The announcement was made March 24 at the company's 20th anniversary celebration in Johannesburg by Wings CEO Tony Sofianos.

In anticipation of future business growth, Wings established its corporate headquarters in the United Kingdom nearly two years ago. The administrative headquarters remains in Johannesburg. Because of the strategic nature of Wings' growth and business development, more than half of Wings' business now is outside the African continent, creating a truly international brand.

SA-born

Wings Travel Management originated in South Africa, cutting its teeth in a challenging travel market. Since its inception, it has become one of the top travel-management companies specialising in the oil and gas market, with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, the Middle East, South America, and Africa. Wings is also expanding into the Asia-Pacific region with an operating presence in Singapore.

"Over the years, Wings has worked to unlock complex travel, which is how we've earned our place as a trusted advisor with our clients," Sofianos said. "Because of our single-technology platform that is universal across our global system, we can provide confidence and peace of mind for the business traveller anytime, for any need, no matter where they are in the world."
