C-level connections.

Hands-on but collaborative.

Disruptive yet disciplined.

Who we are: @aquila is an international growth consultancy within the broader travel space, made-up of industry veterans that have repeatedly proven their ability across sectors and functions to scale businesses. While our roots are within commercial aviation, our team members have deep experience in all disciplines of the travel industry including travel technology, payments and other financial technologies, online and offline travel agencies, hotels and cruises.

Why us: unlike most traditional consulting firms, we provide both strategic guidance and execution capabilities that enable our clients to reach their objectives, identify paths for expansion, and capitalize on new opportunities; all without going through the costly, time-consuming and uncertain process of hiring, onboarding and keeping proven talent.

How we do things: from day one of an engagement, we are a part of your existing team. We dive into your products, strategies, processes and more operations to gain a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges you face. We design and implement tailored, innovative solutions that draw on our team's extensive learnings from past experiences and industry relationships. We co-ordinate with all levels of your organization in our day-to-days, while maintaining transparency with senior management on our findings and progress.
