AirTreks and BootsnAll Announce…
By Toby Tupper · December 5, 2013
AirTreks is really excited to announce today that BootsnAll, the one-stop shop for long-term travel planning, have acquired AirTreks, the worldwide leader in complex multi-stop international journeys.
But don’t worry – we’re not going away! As we have for over 25 years, the AirTreks team will continue to provide customized flight planning for our travelers in need of multi-stop, round-the-world and complex international flight itineraries. In addition, AirTreks will continue to support our corporate partners who utilize AirTreks customized corporate solutions to provide flight planning for their customers and employees.
Moving forward, what does this mean for AirTreks travelers and partners?
“Online travel agencies like Orbitz, Expedia, Kayak and Priceline continue to put minimal resources towards supporting travelers with the need for multi-stop and round-the-world itineraries . Since 1995, AirTreks has actively supported these travelers and with the combined resources of our two organizations, AirTreks will continue to provide new, innovative, customized person to person air planning solutions ” BootsnAll and AirTreks CEO Sean Keener says.
The BootsnAll/AirTreks merger is great news for aspiring travelers. AirTreks has a long history (over 25 years) of success in helping long-term travelers plan multi-stop trips. In addition, AirTreks provides customized international air planning solutions for industry leading tour operators, universities, travel agencies and affinity groups.
BootsnAll, founded in 1998, is also a trailblazer when it comes to online travel planning, with one of the largest and oldest long-term travel communities.
Combining AirTreks with Bootsnall brings together the best travel planning resources for multi-stop and long term travelers.
All of us at AirTreks and BootsnAll are really excited about this merger – stay tuned as we continue our mission to make the experience of planning and purchasing a complex international trip even more exciting and enjoyable.
