Before Kiwi.com came along, a traveler had two choices. They could fly with a normally interlined full-service carrier or they could spend hours and hours searching every possible airline, every possible connection and every possible price to find the best deal. It was thought it couldn’t be automated — the sums were too complex and the travel industry too corporate to try anything new.This is where our Virtual Interlining algorithm comes in. A combination of incredibly talented developers and big data allowed us to do those sums. In seven short years, we have gone from being a small startup to one of the fastest growing companies in the world — all because we had this idea and were able to made it work.
