Our Mission

Freebird's founding principle is simple: GETTING THERE MATTERS. Whatever the reason for travel, it's critical travelers reach their destination. Unfortunately, flight disruptions can wreak havoc on travel plans. That’s where Freebird comes in. Freebird empowers travelers, travel managers, and agencies with the tools and information to stay in-the-know, take control, and act quickly when the unexpected happens.

Our Company

Freebird, located just outside of Boston, MA, is walking distance from some of the world’s best academic institutions and many of the world’s most innovative travel tech companies. The proximity is no coincidence. Freebird’s proprietary data and risk models combine cutting-edge data science and technology to provide travelers, travel managers, and agencies with superior real-time information and tools to take control and make better travel decisions.
