Open Source Travel Distribution Platform Winding Tree on June 19 revealed the decision of the company to host yet another edition of the hackathon. The blockchain based platform made it known that this year’s edition will be held between July 3-5 2019 in Lisbon, Portugal.

Reforming the Travel Space

Coming on the heel of a successful edition in 2018, the firm announced that this year’s edition will focus on business innovation within the travel space.

The first edition of the hackathon was a massive success, as it succeeded in bringing together competitors like Air France and German carrier Lufthansa, who collaborated together in order to bring a new set of innovation to the antiquated travel industry.

The event also brought about a level of flexibility into the system, as Air France became the first airline to allow external developers, including experts from competitors inside its system.

Winding Tree is gradually changing the protocol in the aviation industry.
