Air Black Box Powers Flair Airlines' Ancillary Revenue StrategyThe company's travel connection platform is helping Canada's first Ultra-Low Cost Carrier quickly ramp up its booking and digital retailing capabilities MIAMI, June 19, 2019 /CNW/ -- Air Black Box, a global travel technology company founded to help airlines address the complexities of cross-selling travel product inventory, is partnering with Flair Airlines, Canada's first independent ultra-low cost carrier, to power its booking, retailing and ancillary revenue needs. Air Black Box is providing Flair with a comprehensive digital booking solution and access to ancillaries and new retail channels. The revenue-generating internet booking engine (IBE) enables airline customers to easily search, book, pay for, and manage flights. Through the Air Black Box platform, Flair will be able to market and sell high-value air-related ancillaries, including baggage fees, seat upgrades, and travel insurance, in addition to ground-based ancillaries, including car rental, parking, and hotel booking. "It was crucial for us to find a technology partner that could develop a state-of-the-art booking and ancillary revenue solution which didn't require complex and lengthy integrations," said Jim Scott, president and CEO of Flair Airlines. "We needed a partner who could meet our aggressive timetable and get us up to speed quickly, keep costs low, and evolve and grow with us. Air Black Box is that partner." Developing New Retail Channels and Selling Opportunities "Our technology allows startup airlines like Flair to scale up quickly and compete in dynamic markets," said Ian Reyner, CEO of Air Black Box. "Since our approach is cost-effective and less complex than traditional ancillary revenue development and booking solutions, we offer the flexibility and speed to market that Flair, as anada's fastest growing airline, needs." Powering Low Cost Airlines Connecting Key Ancillaries "Our expertise in working with LCCs and ULCCs is key to why we are ideally positioned to partner with Flair. We've been able to deploy our capabilities quickly, without a lengthy integration process – a benefit Flair wouldn't get from legacy solutions providers and that is so critical at this stage of their growth," added Reyner.
