Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is on the hunt for a PR agency with operations in Dubai, India and Africa as it seeks to woo airlines and foster ties with those growing international travel hubs.
According to an RFP open through Dec. 23, the airport’s public affairs unit wants PR support to identify and facilitate contact with key stakeholders and leaders in those regions for missions by airport officials throughout 2012.
Emirates Airlines plans to start nonstop flights from DFW to Dubai on Feb. 2 and part of the PR work will be promoting that new service in the United Arab Emirates and “managing a year-long media plan to generate positive articles,” according to the RFP released Dec. 12.
A base contract of one year will carry four option years.
