The airline will continue offering innovative travel flexibility through Volantio’s Re-Commerce Platform.
Volantio Inc. (“Volantio”), a leader in AI-driven revenue and capacity optimization solutions for the travel industry, today announced a 10-year extension of its partnership with Alaska Air Group, Inc. (“Alaska Airlines” or “Alaska”), reaffirming the airline’s commitment to Volantio’s innovative Re-Commerce Platform.
Since 2018, Alaska has leveraged Volantio’s Re-Commerce Platform to automatically identify high-demand flights and create tailored offers that incentivize flexible travelers to switch to less crowded flights. The program has already demonstrated significant success, generating well over $20M in incremental impact per year while enhancing Alaska’s ability to fly more guests on existing capacity.
“Volantio’s Re-Commerce platform delivers meaningful revenue to Alaska, and we’re excited to continue our partnership for another ten years,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning at Alaska Airlines. “With Volantio, we’re able to open seats for last-minute travelers who might not have flown with Alaska otherwise, improving profitability while benefiting our guests.”
“Our product creates a triple-win for Alaska: Allowing last-minute travelers to access more peak flights, flexible travelers to earn rewards for shifting their plans and Alaska to generate incremental profit without additional operational or fuel costs,” said Azim Barodawala, co-founder and CEO of Volantio. “We’re thrilled to build on the existing success of our partnership to deliver even greater value in the decade to come.”
