Issue 1/2026 of DIREKT! Magazine

We are glad to be featured in DIREKT!, the magazine of the Bundesverband Direktvertrieb Deutschland (BDD), a publication that serves as a trusted reference for direct sales professionals across Germany, covering topics from sales leadership to event management.

 

About DIREKT! and the BDD

The Bundesverband Direktvertrieb Deutschland is the leading industry association for direct sales companies in Germany. Its magazine DIREKT! is renowned for providing deep, actionable insights into the entire spectrum of corporate operations, from sales leadership to high-impact event management.

Being written about in such a respected publication underscores PRO SKY’s relevance and acknowledgement as a trusted partner within the direct sales sector and the wider MICE industry.

The opportunity: new destinations, lower budgets

As companies continue searching for smarter and more adaptable travel solutions, strategic air mobility is becoming an increasingly relevant part of successful event planning.

Event planners in direct sales face a familiar tension: inspire large groups of sales partners with exciting new destinations, while keeping budgets under control. Many organizers believe that choosing exclusive, remote destinations for incentive trips inevitably skyrockets costs. However, we reveal a major strategic opportunity: aircraft charters.

For groups of sufficient size travelling to destinations with limited scheduled connections, a charter can be both more flexible and more economical than piecing together individual airline tickets. Precise timing, coordinated arrivals, and no hub dependency also mean the journey itself enhances the whole event experience.

Less-frequented destinations are another lever, as they can reduce hotel and venue costs by up to 30% to 40%. When combined with a charter that makes them directly accessible, the total event budget can decrease even as the destination becomes more distinctive.

What this recognition means to us

Incentive travel works because it rewards effort with memorable experiences. Flight logistics, done well, should feel seamless to participants and straightforward for organisers.

With around 70 professionals and a platform built for group and event flight management, PRO SKY handles the purchasing and coordination of airline flights and aircraft charters for international corporate events. Being featured in DIREKT! is an acknowledgement that this work is relevant — and that the industry is paying attention.

We thank the Bundesverband Direktvertrieb Deutschland for the opportunity to contribute to this edition.
