AERTICKET Suisse AG

What AERTICKET Suisse AG does

AERTICKET Suisse AG is a Zürich-based B2B travel technology company operating as part of the AERTiCKET Gruppe, one of the world's largest independent Full-Service-Consolidators for scheduled flights. Founded around 1989, the company has built and operates the Cockpit booking platform, which aggregates global flight tariff content from more than 100 countries via numerous direct airline interfaces and NDC (New Distribution Capability) integrations. The platform is offered exclusively to travel trade customers — travel agencies, tour operators, cooperatives, and online portals — providing them with access to exclusive fares and competitive tariff content they cannot easily replicate through direct GDS or airline connections alone.

The product portfolio centers on Cockpit Flights (the core booking technology) and is supplemented by Cockpit API (enabling third-party portals and tour operators to embed AERTICKET's content), My Cockpit (a traveler-facing tool for flight status, gate changes, and seat reservations), Linienflug-Cache (a scheduled-flight cache for fast price display), and a 24/7/365 Full Service tariff-specialist support layer. Operationally the company runs an always-on service model — 365 days a year, 24 hours a day — supporting booking workflows for its B2B customer base. The legal entity AERTICKET Suisse AG has a small disclosed headcount (5 employees) and is privately held with no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no reported revenue figure; it appears to function as the Swiss operating company within the broader privately-held AERTiCKET Gruppe, whose detailed financials and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.

Revenue mechanics are B2B-driven, with the company acting as a consolidator intermediary between airlines and travel sellers, monetizing through fare markup/commission, recurring service contracts, and API access fees. Go-to-market is sales-led, with no direct-to-consumer offering, demo-driven conversion via the cockpit.aerticket.ch platform, and multi-language support (German, English, French). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company serves a horizontal customer base across Europe and globally, with no named customer logos and no segment-mix data available to estimate concentration.
