DMC for Independent & Group travel throughout the British Isles, France & selected European destinations. Delivering excellence since 1978 – the ASA way.
ASA have grown from the passion & vision of its founder, Angela Shanley, to today’s extended ASA family. We remain a proudly independent company, always looking forward, but never losing sight of the heritage & values at our core.
From our infancy in 1978, ASA built a strong reputation, establishing ourselves as leaders in selected source markets. In 2003 the company undertook a major re-structure & expansion plan leading to today’s ownership with Adonis Farantouris (CEO), Anak McSporran (Managing Director) & Michael Gebreslassie (Director of Finance) the three company directors.
The ASA family continues to grow. TravelTeam @ ASA joined the company in 2016. In the same year we also began a co-ownership and full management of a Paris based DMC, renamed “Flying Europe by ASA”, successfully introducing & developing new business from existing ASA partners.
In 2018, we opened our second office in the UK, a Scottish office having been an aspiration for several years, and more recently, in 2021 we merged the business from “Flying Europe by ASA” in Paris after taking full ownership of the French company, bringing the entire operation to the UK under the core ASA brand, and introducing France and other destinations to our partners through a single managed relationship.
Our journey continues…
