Owners

The following airlines are owners of ATPCO:
The Air Traffic Conference of America, a body within the Air Transport Association of America, was founded in 1945 to publish passenger tariffs. In 1958 it assumed publication of freight tariffs, formerly produced by Air Cargo, Inc., and in 1965 the group divested from ATA as an independent company, Airline Tariff Publishers, Inc. It was reorganized and took its current name in 1975.
In the 1980s and 1990s, ATPCO digitized the information filed on paper tariffs, automating manual processes and enabling electronic connectivity for airfares in the industry. In later decades, ATPCO has continued to automate more types of pricing and related data, such as baggage allowance and charges.
ATPCO expanded its industry presence in October 2017 by launching the start-up platform Bridge Labs, which connects ATPCO’s vast data to emerging and established companies.
In February 2018, ATPCO acquired . The acquisition increases ATPCO’s merchandising capabilities combining its flagship pricing data with Routehappy rich content.
A few months later, ATPCO was awarded a patent for its cacheless airline ticket pricing technology, which allows the calculation of all possible airline ticket prices, regardless of availability.
