Fare scraping & distorted availability
OTAs and resellers scrape flight-search APIs at scale, rebuilding fare data on unauthorized sites and distorting real seat availability.
Airlines & Transportation
Stop bots from scraping your fares and hoarding your seats
OTAs, resellers, and fraud rings hit airline booking engines and flight-search APIs harder than almost any other industry. Kasada stopped 90% of the bad-bot traffic getting through a major airline's incumbent provider, without a single CAPTCHA.
Trusted across travel & transportation
Every part of the booking journey is under attack
Automated activity here rarely looks like a scraping tool. It moves like a real traveler, and the impact shows up later.
Infrastructure load & customer complaints
The traffic looks legitimate until it shows up as strained infrastructure, locked-out travelers, and support tickets.
Loyalty account takeover
Credential stuffing hijacks frequent-flyer accounts to drain miles, certificates, and stored payment methods.
90% of allowed traffic was bots
In a 2025 proof-of-concept, Kasada found 90% of the traffic an airline's incumbent provider allowed through was bad bots, 98% of it low-sophistication enough to never run a JavaScript challenge.
One fare search can look real. The pattern gives it away
A single fare search or login can look exactly like a real traveler. The real signal is the pattern: the same device moving through fare search, booking, login, and loyalty. Kasada blends Bot Defense with Account Intelligence, linking those signals to expose the pattern before it hits your fares, seats, or loyalty program. No CAPTCHA, ever.
The proof, in numbers
90%
of the traffic an airline’s incumbent bot provider was allowing through turned out to be bad bots
Based on a 2025 proof-of-concept, Kasada deployed behind the incumbent provider on the flight-search API.
75%+
false-negative rate on the incumbent provider Kasada was benchmarked against
Three out of four bad-bot requests were waved through as clean traffic before Kasada.
98%
of that missed bad-bot traffic was low-sophistication
It never even ran a JavaScript challenge, the traffic a modern defense should catch outright.
