Descriptiontext

Aviate Management Ltd is a UK-based B2B travel technology platform, headquartered in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, with a secondary entity in Dublin operating as part of the Travel Innovation Group. The company distributes airline fares and booking technology to UK and Irish travel professionals — primarily ATOL-licensed tour operators and travel agents — who in turn package and resell travel to end consumers. Its core offering centres on access to nett IT fares from over 75 airlines and published fares from over 150 airlines, delivered through three principal products: Aviate Flights (flight booking), Aviate Groups (group travel management), and Aviate Additions (curated cruise, hotel, and ancillary offerings).

The underlying technology stack is a bespoke booking platform with three access channels: a proprietary online booking system (aurora.aviateworld.com), traditional GDS connectivity, and an API layer branded as InfiniteTech. InfiniteAPI delivers a direct live feed of fare content for partner integration into back-office, mid-office, or web systems, while InfiniteCache provides a cached, customisable feed with sub-0.1 second response times. The platform supports both NDC and GDS fare types and includes a dedicated Virgin Atlantic Flightstore sub-brand. Aviate holds IATA (9128361), ATOL (10232), and ABTA (Y6301) certifications, which are gating credentials for serving ATOL-protected package holiday operators.

Aviate generates revenue primarily through transaction-based service fees on ticket issuance on behalf of airlines, plus miscellaneous charges for ancillary services. Fares are sold at nett rates to travel professionals who apply their own markup to end consumers. The go-to-market is partner-led B2B, with acquisition funnelled through 'Become a Partner' website forms, a partner news channel highlighting airline incentive campaigns, and a self-service Knowledge Bank for operational support. The company operates as a private subsidiary of Travel Innovation Group, a diversified travel services conglomerate, with no external venture funding disclosed.

Travel Distribution Platformaviateworld.com

Aviate Management Ltd is a UK-based B2B travel technology platform that distributes airline fares and booking technology — including InfiniteAPI and InfiniteCache — to ATOL-licensed tour operators and travel agents, providing access to 75+ airlines' IT fares and 150+ airlines' published fares across flight, group, and ancillary products.

What Aviate does

Aviate Management Ltd is a UK-based B2B travel technology platform, headquartered in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, with a secondary entity in Dublin operating as part of the Travel Innovation Group. The company distributes airline fares and booking technology to UK and Irish travel professionals — primarily ATOL-licensed tour operators and travel agents — who in turn package and resell travel to end consumers. Its core offering centres on access to nett IT fares from over 75 airlines and published fares from over 150 airlines, delivered through three principal products: Aviate Flights (flight booking), Aviate Groups (group travel management), and Aviate Additions (curated cruise, hotel, and ancillary offerings).

The underlying technology stack is a bespoke booking platform with three access channels: a proprietary online booking system (aurora.aviateworld.com), traditional GDS connectivity, and an API layer branded as InfiniteTech. InfiniteAPI delivers a direct live feed of fare content for partner integration into back-office, mid-office, or web systems, while InfiniteCache provides a cached, customisable feed with sub-0.1 second response times. The platform supports both NDC and GDS fare types and includes a dedicated Virgin Atlantic Flightstore sub-brand. Aviate holds IATA (9128361), ATOL (10232), and ABTA (Y6301) certifications, which are gating credentials for serving ATOL-protected package holiday operators.

Aviate generates revenue primarily through transaction-based service fees on ticket issuance on behalf of airlines, plus miscellaneous charges for ancillary services. Fares are sold at nett rates to travel professionals who apply their own markup to end consumers. The go-to-market is partner-led B2B, with acquisition funnelled through 'Become a Partner' website forms, a partner news channel highlighting airline incentive campaigns, and a self-service Knowledge Bank for operational support. The company operates as a private subsidiary of Travel Innovation Group, a diversified travel services conglomerate, with no external venture funding disclosed.
