Next generation of revenue management • Modular machine-learning system • AI clustering algorithm learns which flights across entire system are most similar, aggregates to minimize forecast error • Customizable to any date range or set of criteria weighting • Modularity allows for continual experimentation and optimization • Minimal time to create and implement new models Cluster Creation Forecast Demand Pattern Forecast Optimization Generate Pricing
Flight clustering example First Gen Allegiant system: Aggregate based on regions and haul Next Gen Allegiant system: Aggregates individual flights into best-fit demand clusters
Module optimization example • Can update forecast optimization with new AI logic while leaving other modules alone • Easier to isolate and measure small changes • Not as much of a black box as traditional systems • High potential as we get more eCommerce / customer data Cluster Creation Forecast Demand Pattern Forecast Optimizatio n Generate Pricing Forec timization w/ AI Web Search & Conversion Price Sensitivity
Fixed fee • Limited fixed fee opportunities the last few years due to pilot availability • Airbus significantly more desirable for charters compared to MD80 • Started international track charter programs in 2016 Fixed fee revenue by year 2015: $20m 2016E: $30m 2017E: $40m
