Scottish Equity Partners invests in Dohop
Scottish Equity Partners (SEP) has invested in Iceland-based travel specialist Dohop.
With its investment, SEP intends to help Dohop scale up its team in Reykjavik and internationally, and expand its global sales and support capabilities.
Previous funding
Dohop raised seed funding from Technology Development Fund, an Icelandic early-stage investor dedicated to local startups.
Subsequently, the company received €3m from EasyJet and other investors in June 2018.
Company
Dohop offers a virtual inter-airline technology that allows airlines to connect with each other and other travel providers without relying on legacy booking systems and complex inter-airline agreements.
Travellers can then create an itinerary composed of flight segments from multiple airlines. Dohop can combine flights from low-cost carriers, full-service carriers and hybrid airlines into a single itinerary, expanding passengers' choices.
The Dohop platform supports IATA's New Distribution Capability (NDC) standard, which enables improved distribution of airline tickets and ancillaries.
Dohop also offers a protected connection (Dohop Connect), which assists passengers with new bookings, accommodation and other travel services in the event of a missed connection, schedule change or cancelled flight.
Dohop has partnership with 35 airlines and airports across five continents, including Avianca, EasyJet, Eurowings, Gatwick Airport, Jetstar, Transavia and Volotea.
