Airbnb is working on a new way to book flights

Airbnb is developing a flight-booking tool, according to a new report from Bloomberg. The product is still early in development, according to the report, and it’s unclear how Airbnb would acquire the necessary data or integrate flight-booking into the existing offerings. Still, the new service is seen as an important part of the company’s long-term strategy, intended to launch before a planned IPO in 2018.
The move would put Airbnb in even greater competition with giants like Expedia
