Gordian

Series A in 2022
Gordian Software LLC, founded in 2017 and based in Burlingame, California, specializes in developing an application programming interface (API) that facilitates airline bookings on travel booking websites.

This integration eliminates the need for travelers to contact airlines directly for such services, streamlining the booking process. Gordian Software's solutions also benefit airlines and online travel agents by significantly reducing the time required for product integration, enabling them to access new markets and increase revenue from ancillary sales. The company collaborates with major industry players, including Air Canada and Travix, serving millions of travelers annually.
