What Travelliance does

Travelliance, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Bloomington, Minnesota, is a for-profit firm that provides full-service lodging services to airlines, railroads, and other industries. Its airline-focused operations are delivered under the TA Connections brand, which operates as a subsidiary within the Corpay (formerly FLEETCOR) corporate family and under the Corpay Lodging umbrella, drawing on billions of dollars in annual hotel purchasing power across an inventory of more than 1.2 million hotels.

The TA Connections platform is cloud-based and organized around three core product modules: Crew Hub, which automates roughly 97% of crew layover logistics spanning hotels, transport, positioning flights, and meals; Disruption Hub, which provides real-time monitoring and intelligent ticketing-switch rebooking for irregular operations (IROP); and Digital Hub, which covers mobile departure control, in-flight point-of-sale, baggage handling, and ramp management. A mobile companion app (TA Crew Hub Mobile) is available on iOS and Android. The platform manages more than 37 million room nights per year and supports airline operations at over 10,000 stations worldwide.

The business model is enterprise B2B SaaS sold via custom subscription contracts on an annual cadence, with pricing driven by airline size, route count, and crew volume. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales aimed at airline operations, finance, and customer-experience decision-makers, supported by an on-site resource hub, customer testimonials, and integrations with partners such as Uber for Business. The named customer base — including Spirit Airlines, GOL Airlines, easyJet, DHL Air (UK), Eastern Airlines, and CommutAir, alongside displayed logos for Delta, American Airlines, Japan Airlines, FedEx, and Etihad — spans more than 160 airlines across passenger, regional, and cargo segments.
