Cheap flights specialists Skyscanner chose Kotikan as a mobile partner for their strong track record of creating rich and intuitive apps popular with users. Kotikan’s focus on design and usability coupled with Skyscanner’s excellence in flight search has led to an app with real global appeal.

The success of the iPhone app has led to Skyscanner and Kotikan developing further updates and versions for other operating systems. The Android app has over 5000 ratings averaging 4.5 stars out of 5 and apps supporting additional mobile platforms are in the pipeline.
