According to Reuters, Winding Tree blockchain platform are being used by some big Airlines such as Air Canada, KLM, Air France and Lufthansa.

Winding Tree is obviously our distribution (platform) and that’s an opportunity for us to disrupt a traditionally siloed market dominated by major distribution systems

Winding Tree’s platform will allow corporates and institutions like airlines and hotels to publish available inventory to those customers directly.
