Duffel Secures €27 Million to Revolutionize Travel Booking for Agencies
London-based travel tech startup Duffel has raised €27 million in a Series B funding round led by Index Ventures
The company provides an API that allows travel agencies to connect directly to airlines' reservation systems, enabling them to access real-time flight offers, make bookings, and buy extra services
Duffel will use the funding to expand its operations in North America and Europe.

"Travel agencies have to deal with long lead times and high costs to access flight booking systems, legacy APIs and outdated screens. This makes it difficult for them to access airline data, navigate the regulatory landscape and create packages that meet their clients’ expectations."
