Maximise revenue per customer

Amadeus' new generation IT solutions enable you to maximise your sales to a given prospect and generate revenue beyond that gained with classical revenue management techniques.

Up-sell to your customers online and offline

• Propose a transparent multiple choice of flights and fares to your customers, enabling them to compare options and to choose more often than not the most appropriate one instead of the cheapest

Sell 'à la carte' services

• Propose additional travel options (seat, lounge access, insurance, etc) at the time of reservation or at time of check-in

Collect due charges for ticket change

• Ensure tickets are correctly re-priced and that customers pay relevant penalties

Collect due excess baggage fees

• Ensure excess baggage fees are systematically paid

Secure customers' lifetime value

• Introduce favoured availability for your most valuable customers

Develop additional revenue with codeshare partners

Codeshare represents a significant opportunity for increased revenue, which can be facilitated by Amadeus' new generation IT solutions.

This revenue opportunity depends, of course, on each airline's situation.

Implement new free-flow codeshare flights faster

• Benefit from codeshare links already in place
• Easily set up codeshare flight details and immediately publish the new schedule

Ensure that codeshare increases revenue

• Evaluate in real time a request from a codeshare partner on your flight and apply revenue management controls

Expected financial benefits

Amadeus' Customer Management Solution, complemented by other stand alone IT solutions, enables you to optimise your end-to-end revenue management chain.

Specific financial benefits depend on an airline's situation and current level of sophistication, especially regarding the potential increase of yield due to improved revenue management.

As a guide, airlines generally estimate an average secure value of revenue increase due to the use of Amadeus solutions of between 0.5% and 2% of total passenger revenue.
