Our take

The airline industry generates hundreds of thousands of dollars each year, yet many airlines have traditionally relied on basic methods to decide ticket prices. FLYR changes this by using advanced AI to help airlines predicts demand and set smarter prices. Its platform analyses a wide range of data like bookings, search behaviour, available seats, weather, and promotions, to help airlines earn more from each flight.

After proving it could increase airline revenue by more than 5%, FLYR expanded its product to support the needs of larger and more complex airline customers. Major carriers such as JetBlue, Azul, and Virgin Atlantic now use FLYR's technology, with Virgin Atlantic reporting double-digit gains in revenue from seat selection and add-on services.

FLYR has also been growing beyond airlines. Through acquisitions like Pace Revenue, it has brought its pricing technology into hotels and other parts of the travel industry. Backed by significant funding raised in 2024, the company is positioning itself as a central technology provider for how travel companies price, sell, and manage their products.
