Duetto, the San Francisco hotel revenue software company, has acquired FLYR Hospitality, the hotel pricing and business intelligence business of airline technology company FLYR. The deal was announced on 8 October 2026. Neither side disclosed the price or any other financial terms.

In its press release, Duetto said FLYR Hospitality’s revenue strategy platform, its business intelligence (BI) tool and its artificial intelligence capabilities will join what Duetto calls its Revenue & Profit Operating System. Duetto says it serves more than 20,000 properties worldwide, including hotels, casinos and resorts.

What Duetto is buying

FLYR Hospitality sells an automated revenue management system (RMS) and a BI product. According to Duetto, the pricing engine models a range of demand scenarios instead of a single forecast, improves through reinforcement learning and updates prices in real time. The BI tool lets hotel staff ask questions about their business in plain language and receive direct answers.

Duetto chief executive Alex Zoghlin said the company bought the business “for what its technology and talented team can do”. Duetto expects the technology and staff to speed up its own AI work and product roadmap. Lukas Hughes, named in the release as chief product officer of FLYR Hospitality, said the two companies’ views of the industry are closely aligned.

Duetto also plans to combine FLYR’s products with HotStats, the hotel profitability benchmarking business it acquired in 2025, so that operators can see revenue and profit performance in one place.

What changes for hotels using either system

Duetto says existing customers of both companies will continue to be supported. It describes the combined offer as a choice: hotels can use Duetto’s configurable products, where revenue managers set and oversee the rules, or FLYR’s fully automated RMS, plus the BI tool, without moving to a different supplier.

The company also said FLYR Hospitality’s strength with independent hotels and small chains fits its aim of serving hotels of every size.

The announcement does not say how many hotels use FLYR Hospitality today, how long both products will be developed in parallel, whether contracts or pricing will change, or how many FLYR employees are transferring.

Background to the sale

FLYR is best known for airline pricing software. It entered hotel revenue management in September 2022 when it bought Pace Revenue, a start-up that then had more than 1,000 hotel clients, according to Dealroom’s report on the deal. Dealroom describes the sale as FLYR returning its attention to its airline business, and reports that FLYR’s founder Alex Mans stepped down as chief executive about two weeks before the sale. The same report says Duetto is owned by private equity firm GrowthCurve Capital.

For Duetto, the deal follows the HotStats purchase in 2025. It moves the company from a pure rooms pricing supplier towards a wider commercial and profit data platform.

THD’s reading

  • THD analysis: Hotels on FLYR Hospitality should ask for written confirmation of product support periods, pricing at renewal and integration commitments with their property management system. “Continue to be supported” is a statement of intent, not a roadmap.
  • THD analysis: The purchase removes one independent RMS option from the market. Buyers running a tender in the next year have one fewer competing bid, which matters most to independents and small groups where FLYR was active.
  • THD analysis: Offering a fully automated system beside a configurable one lets Duetto sell to properties without a dedicated revenue manager. Owners of smaller hotels should compare the cost of automation with the cost of outsourced revenue management.
  • THD analysis: The link with HotStats points to pricing decisions that take account of profit, not only revenue per available room. Operators should ask when that data will actually feed the pricing engine, since no date has been given.
