Accelya to Acquire Farelogix

Accelya has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Farelogix, a provider of SaaS solutions for airline retailing and NDC-enabled commerce.

The acquisition, details of which have not been disclosed, is subject to customary conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close this summer.

Prior to closing, Accelya and Farelogix will continue to operate as separate businesses.

“The industry we serve is facing an unprecedented set of challenges requiring increased agility and integration,” said John Johnston, Chief Executive Officer of Accelya. “Accelya is at the forefront of travel and transport technology and our acquisition of Farelogix will enhance our capability to deliver an integrated Offer-to-Settlement platform and provide innovative solutions and greater choice for airlines worldwide.”

Farelogix has played an instrumental role in defining innovative retailing for the airline industry with technology that enables airlines to dynamically create, control, optimize, and deliver personalized and differentiated offers across sales channels.

Farelogix has more than 25 airline customers worldwide that use its technology to grow revenue per passenger, achieve greater efficiency and reduce costs.

Integration with Accelya’s complementary mission-critical airline solutions will optimize the entire airline commerce lifecycle by allowing greater control and flexibility over commercial offers, orders, and downstream processes, and benefiting airline customers and their passengers through accelerated digital transformation.

“Our focus on delivering high performance, PSS-agnostic technology that can drive revenue, increase brand loyalty, and reduce costs is strategically aligned with the Accelya vision and directly addresses the needs of all airlines,” said Jim Davidson, CEO of Farelogix. “This acquisition represents a tremendous opportunity for Farelogix and Accelya to accelerate innovation in technologies for airline retailing, commerce, order management, and financial settlement.”

The acquisition follows Vista Equity Partners´ investment in Accelya by the firm’s permanent capital investment fund, Vista Equity Partners Perennial.

The deal will add more than 300 Farelogix employees, primarily based in Miami, to the global Accelya team.
