History
JetRadar began in 2007 as an airfare blog by founder Konstantin Kalinov. The catalyst for the business came the following year when Russian airfare distribution was liberalized, allowing the sale of e-tickets.
In May 2012 JetRadar released an English version of the company’s main web functions. Since this time the English version has become a stand-alone project with 535 airline partners and the cooperation of 35 travel agencies worldwide. In February 2014, the companies received a $10 million investment from iTech Capital, which then took a minority stake in the company. JetRadar’s headquarters is located in Phuket, Thailand. There are additional offices in Sydney, Hong Kong, Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
