About
Skyscanner is a global travel search engine founded in Edinburgh that compares flights, hotels, and car rentals across hundreds of providers. Acquired by Ctrip (now Trip.com Group) in 2016 for $1.7 billion, Skyscanner continues to operate independently from Scotland and serves over 100 million monthly users. It remains one of Europe's most recognized consumer tech brands and a key reference point for Scotland's startup ecosystem.
