Overview
Farel.io provides software for airlines that helps them sell more tickets by distributing their inventory across multiple channels from one platform. Its core product is a multi-channel distribution system that lets airlines list seats on Online Travel Agencies, meta search sites, and other aggregators, plus a travel agency portal for business and offline travel agents. It operates on a pay-per-passenger-boarded pricing model, so airlines only pay for the customers they fly. A key feature is a focus on direct sales through world-class customer-facing technology, including a branded mobile app that opens mobile-only revenue opportunities. In short, Farel.io aims to increase airlines’ direct bookings, improve online visibility, and streamline distribution and sales through an integrated platform.
