In concrete terms, the new agreement unveiled on 30 September means that business travellers from Toulon can make their business trip to Kuala Lumpur on a single ticket, valid between Toulon station and CDG-TGV airport station, then from Roissy-Charles de Gaulle to Kuala Lumpur. The same applies to its Bordeaux counterpart to one of the many Asian destinations accessible via the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub. Malaysia Airlines. This single transport contract and end-to-end check-in also have the significant advantage of ensuring that passengers are taken care of in the event of delays preventing them from catching their flight or train. Through this extension of the TGVAir catalogue, the SNCF is strengthening its position as the nerve centre of multimodal business travel, with the railway company aiming to make the customer's journey from home - with car-sharing solutions, for example - to their long-haul flight as smooth as possible. For its part, Malaysia Airlines can hope to broaden its customer base in France by extending its presence and visibility on the French market.
The 19 stations involved in this new partnership: Aix-en-Provence TGV, Angers-Saint-Laud, Avignon TGV, Bordeaux St Jean, Champagne-Ardenne TGV, Le Mans, Lille, Lorraine TGV, Lyon, Marseille St Charles, Montpellier, Nantes, Nîmes, Poitiers, Rennes, St-Pierre-des-Corps, Strasbourg, Toulon and Valence TGV.
