Volantio Raises $6 Million in Series A  

by Kay Aloha Villamor in October 10th, 2022

Volantio, an Atlanta-based travel technology software focused on revenue and capacity optimization for airlines., announced that it has completed $6 million in Series A funding.

The round was led by DiamondStream Partners, an aviation and aerospace venture capital firm, with participation from Alaska Airlines and follow-on investments from JetBlue Ventures, IAG, Amadeus Ventures, and Ingleside Investors.

The company plans to use the capital to scale its global team and invest in product development rapidly.

"Volantio's technology represents a revolutionary ability to maximize our clients' revenue while also benefiting their end consumers: the ultimate win-win," said Azim Barodawala, Volantio's co-founder and CEO. "We appreciate the belief our clients and investors have shown in our market-leading platform, and we are excited to deploy this capital to further scale our transformative solution globally in the years to come."

Volantio's market-leading platform "GreenLeaf" uses machine learning to address optimization challenges for fixed-capacity industries, which today represent over $5.7 trillion in revenue globally. One strong use case for this type of technology lies within the aviation industry: GreenLeaf shifts demand from flights close to selling out to others with more space available, increasing revenue, lifting asset utilization, and improving the experience for both customers and front-line airline staff.

The company has more than tripled its customers in the last two years and has recently expanded into the live events industry through a first-of-its-kind partnership with Disney Theatrical Group.
