History

Founding and early growth (2017–2019):
Skycop as a brand emerged to address widespread under-enforcement of EU261 passenger rights, aligning technology, customer service, and legal processes to make claims more accessible. UAB „Skycop Team“ functions as a key operating entity supporting the brand’s services from Lithuania.

Industry developments and scaling (2020–2022):
During the COVID-19 period, unprecedented flight disruptions led to complex compensation and refund issues, with Skycop working on claims amid evolving airline policies and temporary regulatory guidance. Post-pandemic travel resumption increased claim volumes tied to operational challenges in European aviation.

Continued operations (2023–2024):
Ongoing claim processing across EU markets; technology and legal process refinements; expansion of partnerships with travel agencies and affiliates to reach broader customer segments.
