Selling in the Sky

Onboard Sales Will Power Ancillary Revenue Growth
Over the past few years, airlines have monetized meals, baggage,
seat selection and more just to cover fuel and other volatile
operating costs, some more successfully than others. The path
toward developing a competitive edge – and indeed, for airlines’
survival – now lies in focusing on a complete onboard retail
strategy that encompasses everything from traditional duty-free to
virtual shopping in the sky and, importantly, embracing the
technology and analytics to do so.

The 2011 GuestLogix Onboard Retail Benchmark was created to
help the airline industry understand the enormous potential of
onboard retail generation and to enable more informed decision-
making about onboard retailing initiatives, including:

  • Understanding the sales opportunities and key onboard trends through business intelligence derived from analytics

  • Connecting and engaging with passengers throughout the entire journey lifecycle

  • Generating sustainable ancillary revenues by expanding duty-free offerings beyond the basics - to including more “virtual” products and services, including destination-based services.
   

Selling in the Sky: The Onboard Retail Potential
Onboard retail is a challenging environment: airlines must determine what to sell to customers, understand what sells best
based on departure and arrival destination, flight distance, and diversify their onboard product and services selection to match
passenger demand accordingly.  On the other hand, “selling in the sky” creates the perfect opportunity for airlines to rebuild
brand equity and reignite passenger loyalty by offering products and services that enhance their customers’ experience.

As unbundling approaches its apex, airlines that survive and thrive will be those that seek more predictable, profitable and
sustainable revenues by focusing on value-added initiatives to tangibly enhance their passengers’ experience.

With more than eight years of experience in helping airlines develop onboard retailing initiatives, GuestLogix’ Onboard Retail
Benchmark
is destined to help airlines better understand passenger purchasing behaviors and onboard sales trends, as well
as the technology required to grow their onboard operations and monetize the full potential of selling in the sky.

FFP Interline Currency
Management Calculator - (Freeware)

Airline Information & Comarch Information Technology

Tracking both the program currency and monetary liability of 4-part
airline-to-airline loyalty partnerships can be a daunting task.
The math is relatively simple but grasping "who owes what", or
"how many more miles can my members use?" can get quickly
confusing and difficult to explain to colleagues or senior
management.

The FFP Currency Management Calculator makes it simple and
easy to plug-in figures like how many miles earned or spent by
your own and partner members on each other's aircraft. There
is even a function to figure out excise tax on the value of partner
members accruing on your aircraft! The 'results display
' immediately shows you where the partnership stands and what
performance is required to reach mutual value.

This first calculator of its kind is now available completely free of
charge in an online version. A downloadable 'widget' version will
be available soon for your desktop.
