A story from the field

How an airline lifted its ticket value

Four chapters from intuition to data-driven ancillary steering.

1

Flying blind

A low-cost airline struggles with ticket values that are too low. Nobody knows exactly which extras customers buy – or why. Pricing follows gut feeling.

2

The data foundation

Booking, basket and channel data are connected in one Power BI model. For the first time, basket dependencies become visible: those who book baggage also buy a seat.

3

The steering

Ancillary prices are dynamised, the offering differentiated by channel and route. The dashboard shows daily which lever works – and which does not.

4

The result

Higher ticket values through an understanding of basket dependencies and dynamic ancillary prices. Sales steers on facts instead of assumptions.

Airline

Increasing profitability

The ticket value was too low for a low-cost airline. Basket analysis in Power BI showed which extras are bought together – the basis for dynamic pricing.
