Skyscanner

Skyscanner operates a two-sided travel discovery marketplace. On one side it attracts high-intent travellers through free search, comparison and alert tools. On the other side it sells access to that demand to airlines, OTAs, hotels, car rental providers, tourism boards and agencies through referral traffic, sponsored visibility and advertising solutions. Value is created by aggregating fragmented travel supply into one interface and monetising downstream booking intent plus media inventory.

Skyscanner is a UK-founded travel metasearch platform that helps consumers compare flights, hotels and car rentals across airlines, online travel agencies and other travel providers. The consumer product is free to use and primarily serves as a discovery and comparison interface that redirects users to partner sites to complete bookings. It also offers utility features such as price alerts and flight emissions data through web and mobile applications.
