Our Ongoing Quest for Excellence
Since our founding, Centrav has earned a reputation for exceptionally low fares, innovative technology, and service that exceeds expectations.
In the early 2000s, we saw the future of travel technology emerging online. Rather than settling for off-the-shelf software, we built our own booking engine from the ground up—combining the insights of experienced travel professionals with the brilliance of talented developers.
The result was a platform that revolutionized how travel agents book flights. Continuous feedback from our users has driven ongoing improvements, making Centrav.com one of the fastest, most reliable, and most intuitive tools in the industry. Today, over 99% of our bookings are made through our online system. This is a testament to our commitment to innovation and user experience.
Our mission hasn’t changed: deliver exceptional airfares backed by outstanding customer service. What has evolved is the technology and passion that keep us moving forward.
Our Founder
A Legacy of Purpose
Centrav was founded by Tim Skoog, a visionary leader whose life’s work extends far beyond the travel industry. Driven by a deep compassion for people and a relentless pursuit of justice, Tim has dedicated his life to fighting poverty and injustice around the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. Through his efforts, he helped raise funds to provide tens of millions of meals to starving refugees, bringing hope and dignity to those in need.
Tim’s values of service, generosity, and purpose continue to define Centrav’s culture today. His sons, Erik and Ryan have since taken up his mantle, leading the company with the same heart and vision as their father.
Tim’s son, Ryan Skoog, went on to found Venture, a global organization committed to ending injustice by meeting needs and empowering communities in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions.
At Centrav, we carry forward Tim’s mission every day: connecting people through travel, guided by a mission to See The World and Change The World.
