About CAVU
For airports, for partners, for people. We are CAVU.
Formed from the union of MAGO, MAG USA and our network of direct-to-consumer brands – who together drive market-leading passenger spend for airports across the world – we’ve combined our resources to address evolving passenger needs today, and exceed them as we move forward into tomorrow.
From our revenue-accelerating single platform technology, Propel (currently handling over 2 million searches a day, with plans to significantly increase), to our world‑class hospitality venues including Hangar, 1903, and Escape Lounges, our solutions make travel more seamless and enjoyable for passengers – and more profitable for our clients and partners.
Our name is taken from the aviation meteorology term, Ceiling and Visibility Unlimited – the perfect flying condition. But more than just a name, CAVU is our mindset. It reflects our proud aviation heritage, our drive to push boundaries, and the essence of what we do: creating seamless, enjoyable travel experiences for airport passengers.
If you’re looking for a career where you can make a real impact, bring new ideas to life, and help shape the future of airport travel, then CAVU is the place for you.
Together, we can reach new heights. Together, we are CAVU.
