Association of European Rail Agents

AERA represents and supports travel agents and rail operators across Europe

What do we do?

Since 1986, our members have included railway companies, travel agents, tour operators, content creators and professional individuals connected to the supply of European rail. We hold meetings every two months and regularly invite outside speakers.

We maintain relationships with relevant other organisations such as the European Passenger Federation and Back-on-Track, lobbying for the interests of rail ticket sellers as well as passengers.

We publish information and advice for passengers to better understand how to travel around Europe by train and we advocate the use of rail as a sustainable, practical and enjoyable method of transport across the continent.
