Global connectivity firm Xylen has announced the launch of a new wholesale travel eSIM platform, aimed at reshaping how travel providers deliver mobile data access to international travelers. The solution enables travel agencies, airlines, online travel agencies (OTAs), and tour operators to create fully branded eSIM webstores in minutes—without requiring technical expertise or integration teams.
The initiative arrives as international travel rebounds to near pre-pandemic levels and digital-first solutions gain traction across the industry. With eSIM-enabled devices becoming standard—particularly as flagship smartphones like the iPhone 17 phase out physical SIM slots—analysts expect the travel eSIM market to expand significantly over the next five years.
At the heart of Xylen’s offering is the Free eSIM Module, a feature that provides travelers with a complimentary eSIM during the booking process. This allows users to bypass airport SIM card kiosks and avoid costly roaming charges, gaining instant mobile connectivity upon arrival at their destination.
“For travel companies, this is an opportunity to extend their brand experience while unlocking recurring revenue through data top-ups and global connectivity packages,” the company said in a statement.
The white-label platform is designed for ease of use and flexibility. Travel businesses can customize the storefront to reflect their own branding and deploy it rapidly—an approach that is expected to appeal particularly to smaller agencies and regional operators. These businesses often lack the resources to build such solutions in-house but still seek to compete with larger players offering advanced connectivity options.
“With international travel rebounding and digital adoption at an all-time high, eSIMs are no longer a luxury—they are rapidly becoming a necessity,” said Haider Mustafa, Head of eSIMs at Xylen. “We designed this platform to help travel partners deploy instantly, with no technical burden. By integrating a free eSIM into every booking, we are giving travelers a frictionless experience while helping our partners tap into new ancillary revenue streams and build stronger customer loyalty.”
The launch also reflects a broader industry trend: the growing importance of ancillary revenue. Traditionally, travel providers have relied on upselling seat upgrades, baggage options, and insurance products. Xylen’s eSIM platform introduces a new category—connectivity sales—that can generate income beyond the initial booking.
By positioning itself as a technology enabler, Xylen is aiming to become a key infrastructure partner in the travel sector’s digital transformation. The company’s strategy emphasizes scalability, ensuring that partners of all sizes—from boutique travel agencies to multinational airlines—can participate in the shift toward digital-first services.
Reliable mobile connectivity has emerged as one of the top demands among international travelers. For Xylen, the launch of its wholesale eSIM solution is not only a commercial venture but also a commitment to simplifying global travel.
