Celebrating our 18th Anniversary!

Officially founded on June 2nd 2003, and born from an airline company, over the past eighteen years, Kiu has established itself as a solid and profitable company, with a history of strong growth. Today, Kiu is not only the main provider of new generation systems in the entire Latin American continent, but it is also one of the main providers of technology solutions for airlines across the globe. Consisting of 120 team members, having developed more than 10 products with which we support 66 airlines and offer content distribution in more than thirty-two thousand travel agencies, and all of this is present in five continents.

Alberto Desimone, CEO and founder, said: “In these times when the world is living through such a complex situation, our company has emerged gracefully and strengthened, once again demonstrating our resilience and capacity to grow, while increasing our determination to be one of the most important players in this business. I am proud of our team and our valuable partners and because together we transformed Kiu into a company that exceeds itself year after year, and whose values are the engine that moves it."

Walter Procofio, COO and Founder, said: “When we started this project, we never imagined how far we would develop our system. Each year has been one of learning and growth thanks to the needs of the industry and the joint work with our clients, in addition  to the commitment of the great human and professional group that conforms Kiu, which allowed us to achieve what we are today and gives us the certainty that we will continue to grow."

Reinventing ourselves and growing in times of crisis:

Despite the situation that our industry is facing, we made the decision to keep our entire team and thus keep our operational capacity intact. Thanks to this, we managed to obtain 29 new airlines in 14 new countries, some of which are startups and others migrated from another provider, meanwhile we managed to grow our Kiu GDS by 50%. This not only gave us broader recognition, but also a clearer vision of what the future holds and the importance of our service model for the restructuring of the airline industry.

As we enter the next phase in our history, our priority is to increase our human resources by 30% and invest in new technologies, firmly focused on providing more and better next-generation travel services, with an accessible cost structure, always betting on the growth of our partners.

While we can all look back and be proud of our accomplishments, what matters most is what we do together next. Thanks to all of our teams and partners for the role they have played in putting Kiu where it is today. Here is for many more years together.
