The website is part of the Kayak.com subsidiary of Booking Holdings. Its websites publish flight prices, and compare prices from suppliers, including major airlines, through tiny travel agents.[1] The company uses pay-per-click and display advertising. Agents advertise on the Cheapflights websites and are charged on a pay-per-click basis for users who link through to their websites.[2] HistoryCheapflights was founded in 1996 by John Hatt.[3] That year, its first website, www.cheapflights.co.uk, launched.[4] In 2000, ex-ABN Amro banker David Soskin and Hugo Burge led a buyout of the website from its founder.[3][5][6] In 2000, the website was the first in the UK to launch the pay-per-click online advertising remuneration model.[4] In May 2003, the US website, www.cheapflights.com, was launched.[4] In 2006, the website handled £1 billion in annual travel sales.[7] In April 2007, the Canadian website, www.cheapflights.ca, was launched.[4] In October 2008, the first non-English website, www.cheapflug.de, was launched.[4] In 2008, co-founder David Soskin resigned as chief executive to become vice-chairman.[3] In 2009, the Australia / New Zealand website was launched.[8] In March 2011, the company acquired momondo, a rival online travel agency.[9][10] The two websites and brands were kept independent of each other.[11] In October 2014, Great Hill Partners, a private equity firm, invested £80m for a majority stake in the company that owned Cheapflights and momondo, valuing it at £132 million.[12][13] In February 2015, the South African website was launched.[14] In June 2015, the United Kingdom website was launched as a metasearch engine.[15] In January 2016, the websites were accessed by 500,000 users in a single day.[16] In February 2016, the Cheapflights mobile app was being downloaded 200,000 times per month.[17] In June 2016, Cheapflights added search capability within Facebook Messenger.[18] In October 2016, Cheapflights reorganized some of its staff.[19] In July 2017, Cheapflights and momondo were acquired by Booking Holdings for $550 million.[20] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.incomediary.com/david-soskin-interview-serial-entrepreneur-and-investor | title=David Soskin Interview
