An Optimization Technique of Airlines' Seat Inventory Management
… classes along with multi flight connections. The seats' allocation process came out with the maximum possible revenues, and enough flexibility in terms of changing such allocation to work around competition and trends. Results came supportive to the hypothesis. Sensitivity analysis provided our …

Optimization models for joint airline pricing and seat inventory control : multiple products, multiple periods
… levers to optimize the sales of an airline's seat inventory and maximize revenues. Over the past few decades, they have generated a great deal of research but have typically been studied and optimized separately. On the one hand, the pricing process focused on demand segmentation and optimal …

Advances in airline revenue management and pricing
… first part of this thesis, we study the dynamic inventory control problem for a single flight under imperfect market segmentation, when customers book the lowest available class whose restrictions they can satisfy and whose fare they are willing to pay. We derive theoretical properties of the …

Alliance revenue management in practice : techniques and simulation analysis
… costs, by using codesharing. Airlines share seat inventory on each other's codeshare flights which complicates their revenue management practice and leads to sub optimal revenue gains. This thesis analyzes the challenges related to alliance revenue management in practice and proposes …

Matching of lowest fare seat availability in airline revenue management systems
… price level and more importantly, to ensure seat availability at that price. To retain market share, many airlines track and match the lowest fare of their competitors -- both the price level and the associated seat availability through the use of revenue management seat inventory controls. …

Airline revenue management under alternative fare structures
… Revenue management systems are used to control seat inventory given a forecasted demand to maximize revenues. Fare structures have been constructed by major network airlines to segment demand with multiple fare products and numerous restrictions, a practice known as differential pricing. The …

Airline alliances : the airline perspective
… in practice. One of them, the valuation and seat inventory control process for codeshare traffic is analyzed in detail. Two main revenue management approaches to handle codesharing are presented: The proration approach and the fully integrated approach. The latter aims to maximize the …

Modelling the performance of revenue management systems in different competitive environments
… in revenues. Hence, in this thesis, seat inventory control methods are simulated in less-differentiated fare environments and their relative performances are compared. The methods tested are: EMSRb-based Fare Class Yield Management (FCYM); Heuristic Bid Price (HBP); Displacement …

Yield management for telecommunication networks : defining a new landscape
… the industries such as, for instance, perishable inventory and negligible marginal cost of usage. However, no one has yet described how, one of the chief difficulties being the vastly different nature of airlines products and telecom services. Motivated to show how Operations Research can play a …

Managing Uncertainty in Capacity Investment, Revenue Management, and Supply Chain Coordination
… problem is the optimal allocation of seat inventory among different fare-classes, given a capacity for the flight and a demand distribution for each class. In practice, capacity on a flight does not have to be fixed; airlines can exercise some flexibility on the supply side by swapping …
