  13. Airline Pricing and Distribution

  14. Airline Pricing Actually Makes Sense! (Well, Mostly….Sorta)

  15. A Fundamental Law Of The Universe TIME = $

  16. Some People will Pay a Lot For Flexibility (Time = $ Crowd) Avoid this square! Lots of Demand, No Profit! Some People will Suffer Inconvenience to Save a Buck (Time  $ Crowd) No Market For This - Folks Are Too Rational! How Airline Pricing Uses That Law Price Level LOW HIGH LOOSE Pricing Rules RESTRICTIVE Airline Pricing Rules Segment the Market Based on “Elasticity of Demand”

  17. Why Is This Important? • High Price Traffic = 20% of Bodies 60% of Revenue • Low Price Traffic = 80% of Bodies 40% of Revenue

  18. The Airline Quandary • There Aren’t Enough High Fare Payers to Fill Airplanes • If You Sell Every Seat at Low Fares, You’ll Lose Your ASSets • A Mix of High and Low Fare Traffic is Required to Succeed

  19. Price Level LOW HIGH LOOSE Pricing Rules RESTRICTIVE

  20. Price Levels • Stimulate Demand • (low) • or • Extract an Economic Premium (high) Price Level LOW HIGH LOOSE Pricing Rules RESTRICTIVE

  21. Price Levels • Stimulate Demand • (low) • or • Extract an Economic Premium (high) Pricing Rules Designed to Segregate the Market Based on “Time Elasticity of Demand” Example: The Infamous Saturday Night Stay Price Level LOW HIGH LOOSE Pricing Rules RESTRICTIVE

  22. The Prices are Then Offered Through Various Distribution Outlets

  23. Traditional Airline Distribution Flow $$ Travel Agencies Airlines $$ $$ GDS (Sabre, Galileo, Worldspan) Customers

  24. Evolving Airline Distribution Flow $$ Travel Agencies Airlines $$ $$ GDS (Sabre, Galileo, Worldspan) Customers Websites

  25. Traditional Airline Distribution Cost Components

  26. Airline Distribution is Shifting Due to E-Commerce

  27. 22% Airline Distribution is Shifting Due to E-Commerce

  28. Costs per Channel Vary Greatly $ 26 * $ 21.15 $18.75 US Airways Traditional Direct (ATO, CTO, Reservations) Internet Agencies Travel Agencies $ 11.19 usairways.com Note: Projected 2003 marginal cost of a $300 ticket * Estimated traditional direct costs for 2003

  29. E-Commerce Benefits For Airlines Today • Distribution Cost Savings • Targeted Distribution Vehicles • “Stealth” Pricing Options • New Market Segmentations (Opaque, for example) • Servicing Improvements and Cost Savings

  30. E-Commerce Challenges for Airlines Today • Price Transparency Causes “Reference Price” Problem • The Web is Too Big… • The Web is Too Small… • “Commoditization” of the Industry

  31. Major E-Commerce Airline Opportunites • “Direct to Corporation” Sales • Major Servicing Vehicle, Independent of Purchase Channel • Personalized or “One to One” Marketing • Development of Value-Added Chargeable Services • Single-view of the Customer
