Skycop is a claims management company founded in Vilnius in 2017 and operating in European markets. It focuses on air travel. Skycop's business model is based on free claim management and a fixed fee if a compensation for delayed, canceled or overbooked flight is successful.[2]
History
Skycop was launched in early 2017[3] in Vilnius, Lithuania.
In 2017, Skycop partnered with the Prienai basketball club competing in the Lithuanian Basketball League, and became its title sponsor in 2018.[4] The season was noted for signing[5] LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, the younger brothers of then Los Angeles Lakers player Lonzo Ball, bringing international attention to the team.
In 2019, Skycop launched a campaign[6] in Barcelona subway stations and busses with slogans "You don't love customers" against Spain's Vueling airline. The campaign was based on Vueling's slogan "We love places".
In 2022, Skycop was acquired[7] by Tomas Vaišvila, the former CEO of Vilnius International Airport and a long-time employee at the Avia Solutions Group.[8]
Services
Skycop seeks claims for delayed, canceled and overbooked flights, as well as extra expenses claims, on behalf of passengers.
The company also offers the 'Skycop Care' subscription scheme with a 0% success fee, as well as B2B services for Online Travel Agencies, car rental companies and other businesses.[9]
