Tripair

What Tripair does

Tripair is the online travel agency (OTA) division of Altair Travel Agency S.A., a Greek travel company founded in 1980 and headquartered in Kallithea, Athens. The platform enables individual leisure travelers (the primary segment, branded as Free Independent Travelers / FIT) and corporate clients to search and book flights, hotels, car rentals, ferry tickets, and travel insurance through a self-serve website operating across 30+ country-specific domains in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and Africa. Inventory covers 150+ airlines and global hotel, car rental, and ferry suppliers, with special depth in Greece–Turkey–Italy ferry routes.

The underlying technology is a conventional web-based booking platform with multi-language support, a five-step booking flow, real-time search, integrated payment processing (SSL-encrypted and PCI DSS compliant), and a self-service 'Manage My Booking' portal for e-ticket retrieval, seat selection, web check-in, insurance purchase, and SMS notifications. Live chat and phone-based customer support are layered on top of the self-serve flow. The platform is differentiated primarily by its breadth of supplier integrations and legacy brand recognition rather than proprietary technology.

Tripair generates revenue through transaction commissions on flight, hotel, car rental, and ferry bookings sourced via airline contracts and hotel/car wholesalers, plus affiliate commissions on travel insurance sold through a global insurance partner. Ancillary revenue is generated through seat selection, web check-in, and a Money Back Service. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the website, email newsletter, phone, and live chat — no physical retail or B2B reseller channel is documented. The company is led by Managing Director Nikolaos Peroulis and is privately held, with no external funding identified.
