The SkyLink Group of Companies

The SkyLink Group of companies is, arguably, the most diversified and one of the largest travel and transportation concerns in North America. It is integrated by three divisions: The first, known as the SkyLink Aviation Group, includes SkyLink Aviation, a mature and worldwide provider of ad-hoc air transportation services for both cargo and passenger operations (well known by the governments of Canada, USA, European Community and the United Nations) and SkyLink Express, a licensed aircraft operator flying its own modern fleet in the USA and Canada for large courier companies. SkyLink Aviation has since been sold and SkyLink Express has entered into a partnership with Cargojet Income Fund,a domestic premium overnight cargo network operator.

The second and most extensive, known as the SkyLink Travel Group, combines SkyLink Travel, an airline consolidator business established in Canada, the USA, Germany and India, Payless Travel, an e-Commerce travel agency and fulfillment house for “dot com” companies, FlyLink Travel a hybrid internet/traditional retail agency, Global Travel Network, a franchise retail travel organization, BTN a corporate travel services company, SkyLink Holidays, a leader in affordable vacation packages, TourCan Vacations, a veteran in escorted tours to exotic destinations, Quality of Life, specialized in wellness and learning experiences, Heritage Tours, dedicated to religious escorted tours and Go Israel Travel, focusing on travel experiences in Israel as the name indicates.

Finally, the SkyLink Software Group consists of SkyLink Software Systems, Inc. (SSSI), providing database management and software development for SkyLink Travel and the airline and travel industries, SkyLink Aggregation Systems (SAS), providing integration software between Internet based travel reservations systems and Global Distribution Systems (GDS), and SIS Host, a hosting facility for application software.

SkyLink Travel

SkyLink Travel is the child of one idea, one man and one will. Formed originally in 1971 in London, England, as Sunbeam Travel Limited, it operated initially as a General Sales Agent and airline ticket consolidator. Mr. Babra, a founder of the company, moved to Canada in 1979 and established SkyLink Canada with its first office in Toronto. On the heels of Toronto’s Office success the first USA office was opened in New York in 1981.

In order to strategically position itself for its next stage of growth SkyLink continued to open new offices in Los Angeles and then Chicago. Soon after that, SkyLink entered in partnership with a French speaking travel agency based in Quebec, Canada, leading to the opening of SkyLink Montreal. Since then new offices were opened in Los Angeles, Miami, Ottawa, Mississauga and Vancouver in North America and in Frankfurt, Germany, and in Delhi, India.

Today, SkyLink Travel can be best described as a forward-looking and innovative travel organization seeking continuous growth opportunities. It is goal oriented and operates on well-defined written and constantly reinforced principles of conducting good business. Its flexibility to adapt itself to current business environments, provides it an edge over traditional travel businesses.
