OAG, a global provider of air travel data, has partnered with Plug and Play, a startup accelerator and innovation platform, to help travel startups disrupt the future of travel.
Travel and hospitality is one of the sectors Plug and Play serves with accelerator programs, corporate innovation services and in-house venture capital. Now those startups will be able to collaborate with OAG to help them create better solutions.
"Startups are the lifeblood of the travel industry," says Vipul Nakum, OAG's chief product officer.
"At OAG, customer collaboration comes first. We're committed to helping startups accelerate growth and product development by offering fast and easy access to our data solutions and APIs. Our vision is to equip all technology providers with the data and resources they need to create value and help the travel ecosystem make informed decisions and delight travelers."
OAG's database includes information from more than 900 airlines and 4,000 airports. Its system delivers more than 54 million dynamic flight status updates daily.
"OAG will be a valuable addition to our community," says Jordan Bray, head of corporate partnerships at Plug and Play.
"The team's solutions, data and travel expertise -- and years of success collaborating with major tech brands -- will be instrumental in equipping our ecosystem participants to deliver first-class products, services and value."
