CEO Spotlight: Alex Mans of Flyr

The road to modern retailing in the airline world is long and very complex. Implementing the International Air Transport Association's New Distribution Capability technology standard is still a source of consternation for many carriers and their retail partners, but others are beginning to evolve towards offer and order and the dream of offering travelers personalized services. Flyr, which was founded in 2013, has been steadily building up its own retail technology offering for carriers in recent years. The company launched its airline offer and order management system last September, having announced a $295 million funding round the previous month to "accelerate the delivery of modern reservation system." The United States-based company also has a presence in the hospitality technology world, having acquired Pace Revenue in 2022. In an interview with PhocusWire, Alex Mans, founder and CEO of Flyr, discussed the current state of airline retailing and the potential for carriers to begin bundling far more than bags and seats. All episodes: https://www.phocuswire.com/in-phocusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
