Tripsta S.A. was the parent company of tripsta, airtickets and travelplanet24, online travel agencies that provided transportation services, including airlines, ferry and train services, through its websites.
[3] Tripsta S.A. was founded in 2005, originally under the brand name travelplanet24, by Philipp Brinkmann (CEO) and Kristof Keim (CCO) in Athens, Greece.
The acquisition made Tripsta S.A. the largest ecommerce company in Greece.
[citation needed] Citing a "massive liquidity problem", Tripsta S.A. suspended operations in June 2018[3] when it was unable to repay debts up to €70 million to IATA and its members.
As a result airtickets.gr converted its operation into a metasearch engine and travelplanet24 was restricted into selling solely ferry tickets.
