From Kreuzberg into the wide world

Over 30 years ago, in a backyard office in Kreuzberg, it was just tickets, tickets, tickets. We still sell tickets, and more than ever. But we have outgrown ourselves in the meantime.

A good idea becomes good business

Foundation and first successes

Today’s AERTiCKET Group started in West Berlin back in 1988, when a group of creative activists from Kreuzberg founded the travel agency “Titanic Reisen”. Independence was essential to them, which is why Titanic Reisen had its own IATA number right from the start. Fellow travel agencies ordered their tickets from Titanic – and that is how the airline ticket wholesale business began.

In 1993, the consolidator AER Reiseservice (later AERTiCKET) was founded and signed contracts with around 30 airlines within a year. By 1998, AER had taken over smaller consolidators in Hamburg, Hanover, Frankfurt and Mainz, followed by branches in Nuremberg, Munich and Essen – a nationwide network of offices.

As online business grew in importance, AERTiCKET kept investing: the “AER Pilot”, the first combined IATA and consolidator fare database, was soon followed by one of the first booking engines for travel agencies without their own CRS.

From airline ticket wholesaler to technology provider

AERTiCKET reinvents itself

In 2011, AERTiCKET moved into the “AERTiCKET House” in Berlin – a fully renovated building with bright, modern lofts, a cooling system and photovoltaics on the roof for self-generated electricity.

Since 2018, AERTiCKET has seen itself primarily as a technology company. The airline ticket wholesale industry has been under pressure to adapt for years, and AERTiCKET responded creatively by developing its own booking technology.

The company family continues to grow
