Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive introduction to the concepts, theories, and applications of pricing and revenue optimization. From the initial success of "yield management" in the commercial airline industry down to more recent successes of markdown management and dynamic pricing, the application of mathematical analysis to optimize pricing has become increasingly important across many different industries. But, since pricing and revenue optimization has involved the use of sophisticated mathematical techniques, the topic has remained largely inaccessible to students and the typical manager. With methods proven in the MBA courses taught by the author at Columbia and Stanford Business Schools, this book presents the basic concepts of pricing and revenue optimization in a form accessible to MBA students, MS students, and advanced undergraduates. In addition, managers will find the practical approach to the issue of pricing and revenue optimization invaluable. Solutions to the end-of-chapter exercises are available to instructors who are using this book in their courses. For access to the solutions manual, please contact [email protected].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The airline industry is facing unprecedented challenges in generating sufficient revenues to stay in business. Airlines must capture the greatest revenue yield from every flight by leaving no seats unsold and not over filling the cabin with discount fares. To succeed in doing the above airlines must be able to accurately forecast each of their market segments, manage product andprice availability to maximize revenue and react quickly to competitive changes in the market place. Thus seat inventory control and ticket pricing form the two major tools of revenue management. The focus of this paper is to consolidate the ideas of seats inventory control and pricing in order to maximize the revenues generated by an airline network. A continuous time yield management model for a network with multiple legs, multiple fare classes and dynamic price changes for all fare classes is considered.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Competition and Price Dispersion, in the U. S. Airline Industry Abstract: We study dispersion in the prices that an airline charges to different customers on the same route. Such variation in airline fares is substantial: on average the expected absolute difference in fares between two of an airline's passengers on a route is thirty-six percent of the airline's average ticket price on the route. The pattern of price disperison that we find does not seem to be explained solely by cost differences. Dispersion is higher on more competitive routes, possibly reflecting a pattern of discrimination against customers who are less willing to switch to alternative flights or airlines. We argue that the data support an explanation based on theories of price discrimination in monopolistically competitive markets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the airline industry has seen two major changes: Deregulation, which led to an increase in competition, and the development of revenue management systems. Paradoxically the revenue management models used have not incorporated many competitive considerations. In this thesis we study the interactions between existing airline revenue management systems in competitive markets. We use the Passenger Origin Destination Simulator (PODS) for simulations. After a review of the past research on such interactions, we develop our own model and use simulations to identify and measure the extent to which revenue management systems of competing airlines affect each other. The model introduced highlights the importance of spill-of-demand between airlines. We show that with current revenue management practice, a legacy carrier should be less sensitive than a low-cost carrier to revenue management competitive interactions. As compared to an equivalent monopoly, an airline oligopoly tends to allocate more seats to high-fare passengers and fewer seats to low-fare passengers. With steady demand distributions, an airline's expected revenues are a decreasing function of the seat capacity allocated by its competitors to high-fare passengers. Existing revenue management systems react to competitor moves automatically only if a change in the seat allocation rule by an airline occurs over a large enough number of successive departures to be detected by forecasters. We then suggest how to improve revenue management based on the interactions identified. With steady demands, if a competitor increases (respectively decreases) its seat allocation for high-fare passengers, the best response to optimize revenues on the short-term is to decrease (respectively increase) seat allocation for high-fare passengers. We also show that the use of EMSRb-optimization by competitors results in a near-optimum competitive equilibrium, and a near-optimum cooperative equilibrium if airlines do not share revenues. Rarely can competitive interactions justify an airline to override the EMSRb seat-allocation rule to optimize revenues. Last, we introduce LOCO-based Forecast Multiplication, a heuristic forecast adjustment made in response to the current seat availability of the competitors that can increase an airline's revenues substantially.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major institutional, regulatory, and structural changes have occurred in international air transport during the past two decades. Many countries have deregulated their domestic airline industries and open skies continental blocs have formed in Europe and North America A movement is now underway to create a liberalized continental bloc in Australasia. International air transport has been substantially liberalized due to the diminishing role of lATA as an industry cartel, and via a series of liberalized bilateral agreements signed between many countries, including the u.s. and UK Increased liberalization and continentalization have induced major airlines to create global service networks through inter-carrier alliances. And all these changes are intensifYing competition between major carriers in both domestic and international markets. The increased competition and economic recession in the early 1990s led many airlines to massive fmancial losses, forcing them to undertake major restructuring to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Although it is important for an airline to map out proper strategies in the globalizing airline industry, the ultimate ability of a carrier to swvive and prosper in increasingly competitive markets greatly depends on its productivity and cost competitiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airlines offer combinations of price level and purchase restrictions, or fare products, designed to best maximize revenues on their flights. This dissertation provides the first comprehensive examination of the differentiated fare product structure on the market today in terms of passenger demand, airline revenue, and societal welfare. The role of pricing in the airline revenue management function is established first. The types of price discrimination currently practiced by airlines, as defined in the economics literature, are then identified. Although the terms airline product differentiation and price discrimination have previously been used interchangeably, the two practices are shown to differ and exist simultaneously in the current industry environment. Next, airline revenue management techniques and, in particular, fare product differentiation are examined from the standpoint of economic efficiency. This dissertation concludes that both efficiency in exchange and Pareto optimality are unattainable under the current structure of airline fare product differentiation as a result of the costs incurred by passengers due to applied purchase restrictions. It is found, however, that a differentiated fare product structure with a wide range of price levels coupled with effective revenue management techniques can provide airline seats to those consumers who value them most when demand exceeds supply. Efficiency in allocation can thus be achieved in the current industry environment. Virtually every existing yield management seat allocation model assumes that consumers view differentiated airline fare products as separate products with uncorrelated demands that compete for space on a fixed capacity aircraft. Such formulations ignore the dependence of the demand for a given fare product on the price levels and characteristics of the other available (competing) fare products. In this dissertation, a model of product differentiation that considers the interrelationships of the available airline fare products as well as the cost incurred by consumers of accepting more restricted (and less flexible) products is presented. This generalized cost model of airline fare product differentiation explicitly incorporates the techniques of fare product differentiation and price discrimination currently used by airlines. The generalized cost model is extended to incorporate the "buy down" or diversion of passengers to lower-priced fare products as a result of their ability to meet the additional purchase restrictions imposed by airlines. Moreover, diverting passengers may be induced to "sell up" to higher-priced fare products when booking limits are applied to the lower-priced products. The generalized cost model contributes the first behavioral motivation of both passenger diversion and sell up. The dissertation demonstrates the use of booking limits as devices to control and limit the revenue dilution effects of passenger diversion. The effects of pricing and other fare product design decisions are quantified for any set of OD market conditions using the generalized cost model. The model provides insight into the underlying effects of the tradeoffs made by airlines when making pricing and marketing planning decisions. In summary, this research provides the first cohesive look at the relationships between price level, purchase restrictions, demand, and revenue in the context of airline product differentiation and yield management.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 1998 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1.2, The University of Sydney, language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the practice of price differentiation in the airline industry and how airlines use yield management systems to control their different prices. Consequently it is explained how price differentiation is realised. Emphasis has been laid on discussing whether price differentiation is discriminatory and why it should be acceptable, even if it is discriminatory. In the second part the principles of yield management are explained and the major challenges with regards to the latest developments in electronic commerce are reviewed.

This book was released on 2005-07-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Evolution of the US Airline Industry discusses the evolution of the hub-and-spoke network system and the associated price discrimination strategy, as the post-deregulation dominant business model of the major incumbent airlines and its breakdown in the early 2000s. It highlights the role that aircraft – as a production input – and the aircraft manufacturers' strategy have played in shaping this dominant business model in the 1990s. Fierce competition between Airbus and Boeing and plummeting new aircraft prices in the early 2000s have fueled low-cost competition of unprecedented scope, that destroyed the old business model. The impact of the manufacturers' strategy on these trends has been overlooked by industry observers, who have traditionally focused on the demand for air travel and labor costs as the most critical elements in future trends and survivability of major network airlines. The book debates the impact and merit of government regulation of the industry. It examines uncertainty, information problems, and interest group structures that have shaped environmental and safety regulations. These regulations disregard market signals and deviate from standard economic principles of social efficiency and public interest. The Evolution of the US Airline Industry also debates the applicability of traditional antitrust analysis and policies, which conflict with the complex dynamics of real-life airline competition. It questions the regulator's ability to interpret industry conduct in real time, let alone predict or change its course towards a "desirable" direction. The competitive response of the low-cost startup airlines surprised many antitrust proponents, who believed the major incumbent airlines practically blocked significant new entry. This creative market response, in fact, destroyed the major incumbents' power to discriminate pricing – a task the antitrust efforts failed to accomplish.
