Maximizing Airline Revenue Through Scalable Automation and Data-Driven Insights

In the wake of COVID‑19, an airline’s revenue management, pricing, and ancillary teams faced immense pressure to recover lost revenue. Despite having a wealth of strategic ideas, they lacked the technology and automation needed to implement, scale, and operationalize these solutions effectively. The Challenge With revenue severely impacted by pandemic-related downturns, the airline needed to rapidly respond by optimizing pricing and ancillary revenue. However, heavy reliance on manual analysis hampered the ability to scale and act swiftly on emerging opportunities.
