Kayak.co.uk makes debut
Online travel search company Kayak.co.uk makes its consumer debut today supported by a new low airline fare search engine supplied by Amadeus.
The Amadeus Meta Pricer solution will also be used for Kayak sites launching in France and Germany in the second quarter of the year.
Meta Pricer conducts the search within the Amadeus distribution system, which is claimed to minimise the cost to airlines of responding to travel search requests.
Kayak.co.uk launches with Kayak Forums, Kayak Buzz and air fare history tools. Kayak’s flight search provides real-time prices and itineraries from more than 155 travel sites including leading European airlines, low cost carriers and online travel agencies.
Kayak co-founder and CEO Steve Hafner said: “Amadeus’ low-fare search solution is an important foundation for our entry into the European market because it provides us with a cost-effective proposition for airlines so we can build long-lasting partnerships with our providers and offer the best range of content and fast, accurate search results to our consumers.”
