New service quintupled traffic - now Avionero challenges the travel giants

Since the launch of its new online service for finding the best trips, Malmö-based start-up Avionero has taken on the giant companies in the industry. In six months, Avionero has quintupled the number of visits to its site, which helps travellers find all parts of their trip - flights, hotels and experiences - in a single search. Avionero is based on a proprietary AI that does not limit itself to time, destination and price level, but takes into account temperature preferences, experiences and many other factors.
