As per the sources, Airbnb’s filing will be public after the U.S. Presidential elections in November. The IPO is likely to be launched a month after in December. But market conditions, including election-driven volatility, might push the company into further delaying its IPO.

A spokesman for the San Francisco-based company refrained from commenting any further at this stage. The IPO is expected to value Airbnb at roughly £24 billion.
