Skyscanner travel marketplace

Skyscanner is a leading global travel marketplace founded in 2003 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally created to help travelers find the best prices for flights, the platform has grown to include hotels and car rentals, serving millions of users worldwide every month. While it began as a specialized flight comparison tool, it became a cornerstone of the digital travel industry.

In 2016, Skyscanner was acquired by the major international travel service provider Trip.com Group (formerly Ctrip.com International, Ltd.). Despite the acquisition, Skyscanner continues to operate as an independent subsidiary with its primary operations and headquarters remaining in the United Kingdom. It maintains a global presence with offices across Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific, continuing to develop its proprietary technology for the travel sector.
