City flight site wins top award

A website based in the Capital that compares the prices of airlines on specific routes has won a major award.

Skyscanner won travel brand of the year at the Travolution Awards in London.

It was one of three awards that it secured, which also included the best price comparison site.

Gareth Williams, chief executive of Skyscanner, said: “Over the last 12 months we’ve been working hard to continually improve Skyscanner products and make flight and travel search easier, faster and better for our users.

“To have our efforts officially recognised by winning not just one but three awards in the UK’s most highly respected travel industry accolades is very gratifying.”
