Business Development Manager – Southeast (based in Central or South Florida)

About Regal Wings

Our story began in 2006, when we set out to challenge the status quo of legacy airfare consolidation. We wanted to build a different kind of airfare supplier—one centered around exceptional service, meaningful value, and unwavering support for travel professionals.

That vision earned Regal Wings a place on the Inc. 500 as the #1 travel provider in the United States. Since then, we’ve had the privilege of serving thousands of travel advisors, leading lifestyle brands, and some of the largest host agencies and consortia around the world.
