Who are we? ✈️
Arcube is a UK-based startup and we built one of the industry’s first ‘Post-Flight Technologies’. Our AI-powered software analyzes passenger data after they disembark from a flight, enabling them to convert otherwise idle points into personalized ancillaries for future bookings. By leveraging ancillaries in a unique way, we drive repeat bookings, increase revenue, and build customer loyalty.
We are a small but highly capable team that values speed in building technology and execution. Our goal is to grow rapidly and establish ourselves as market leaders in the new and emerging category of the Post-Flight Experience.
