Thank you for having us, Global Corporate Venturing! Hear from our CEO, Amy Daniels Burr, as she shares her insights on the evolving CVC landscape and what’s next for JetBlue Ventures. ??
Amy Daniels Burr, CEO of JetBlue Ventures, spoke at the #GCVSymposium about the changing model of #corporate venture capital. JetBlue Ventures went through a big change recently, by spinning out of its parent JetBlue, the US airline, and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of #aviation #investment manager SKY Leasing. While JetBlue still owns the #portfolio of #startup #investments, the #CVC unit will now have more access to outside #capital and will expand its #investment strategy across #travel and #transportation. Burr is part of GCV's 2025 Powerlist, a roster of leading professionals in #corporate venturing globally.

Great news from the Volantio team!
Huge news today as Volantio announces the completion of its new partnership with Navitaire, an Amadeus company to bring airlines a seamless, intelligent solution for post-booking optimization. Through this collaboration, carriers can now leverage both of Volantio’s core offerings: ?? Revenue Rebook: Drive up to 5% incremental profit on peak sold-out flights by shifting flexible passengers to lower-demand flights and reselling inventory at a profit. ?? Confirmed Pre-Move: Proactively manage overbooking situations by identifying and reaccommodating passengers in advance of departure, improving both revenue and the customer experience. Built for speed through Navitaire’s open platform architecture, this integration allows airlines to drive measurable commercial gains, reduce operational friction, and offer a more flexible travel journey. Via this partnership, Navitaire customers will soon be able to activate Volantio simply by filling out a single form. The future awaits with: ?? Higher revenue. ? Happier passengers. ?? Smarter operations. Huge thanks to Dave Evans and Mike Binkowski from Navitaire who made this partnership possible, along with the incredible Volantio team led by Ana Maria Escobar and Andrew Gorang who brought this across the line. Learn more about how we’re helping airlines optimize beyond the booking. Press release link in comments! #aviationtechnology #airlineinnovation #revenueoptimization #volantio
