Who's behind Kiwi.com? Check before you buy

Founded in 2012 by Oliver Dlouhý and Jozef Képesi, Kiwi.com (originally known as Skypicker) is a prominent Czech online travel agency. The company revolutionized the travel industry with its proprietary 'virtual interlining' algorithm, which allows passengers to combine flights from non-cooperating airlines into a single itinerary, often providing more cost-effective travel options.

Headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic, the platform has grown into a global technology powerhouse. While its core development and operations remain centered in the Czech Republic, the brand serves a worldwide customer base. Since 2019, the majority stake in Kiwi.com has been held by General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm based in the United States, which has supported its continued expansion and technological innovation.
