The appointment comes at a significant moment in OAG’s evolution. Founded nearly 100 years ago as aviation’s foundational schedule data provider, OAG has undergone a strategic transformation, supported by backing from Vitruvian Partners and under a new leadership team. Today it layers proprietary data sets and AI-driven technology to provide customers across the travel ecosystem with the definitive “one-stop” airline supply and demand intelligence platform. Under CEO Filip Filipov, an alumnus of Skyscanner appointed in late 2025, OAG’s authoritative data and insights have been channelled to help power the global travel industry’s recent explosion in AI-related search and analytics volumes.
