Might be off topic, but does anyone know what data providers / sources sites like Hipmunk and Kayak are pulling this data from? Is there a centralized source for flight data that’s freely available or is this pay to play? I’m trying to understand the business model and mechanics of how they sourced the information they indexed.

Prices I imagine come from integrations with the hundreds of online travel agencies like Expedia, eDreams, etc. [1] https://skift.com/2012/08/07/amadeus-working-to-oust-ita-at-kayak/ https://skift.com/2012/08/07/amadeus-working-to-oust-ita-at-...
