About BizAway
BizAway was founded in January 2015 by Luca Carlucci and Flavio Del Bianco, two young entrepreneurs who identified a new business opportunity: in an increasingly globalized world—where business travel continues to grow—there were no comprehensive services that could make corporate travel more agile and flexible. Through a proprietary software platform, Luca and Flavio combined their passion for travel and technology to deliver real value to companies undergoing digital transformation.
In 2025, BizAway was included, for the fourth consecutive year, in the FT1000 ranking by the Financial Times and Statista as the 29th fastest-growing company in Europe, ranking first in its category. That same year, BizAway was also recognized as Best European NDC Client 2024 by Iberia.
