Meet Yuvo - The All-In-One Platform Helping Travel Brands Optimize Every Stage of Their Customer's Journey15.10.2026 14:36:00 CEST | Press release
The multi-service travel tech company gives OTAs, TMCs, airlines, insurers and fintechs one integration to add real-time flight data, disruption protection and travel add-ons to every trip. Yuvo data shows that flight disruption hit more than 913 million passengers in 2025, and travellers are now buying travel protection at six times the pre-pandemic rate.
