Stephan Uhrenbacher: Determined to change the airport experience “from the most stressful part of the journey to an efficient and enjoyable one.”

INTERNATIONAL. FLIO, the ‘one-stop, global airport app’ for travellers, has reached a critical usage threshold with more than one million installations by consumers worldwide.

According to FLIO founder Stephan Uhrenbacher, this makes FLIO ‘flight companion’ the most-used airport app in the world. Usage of the app increased three and a half times in 2018 alone.

 Uhrenbacher said: “Passengers love certainty. On top of providing the most comprehensive information about all commercial airports in the world, we have built the best flight information service on the market today.

“Drawing from different sources such as aggregators, individual airports and airlines, FLIO currently has the most up-to-date information on flight departure times and gate changes on the market.”
