The Magic Formula for Calculating the “Best Schedule”

Finding a balance between maximizing revenue and meeting customer needs is the core challenge of airline schedule building and availability calculation. It’s tough for airlines and distribution partners, yet metasearch seems to get it right. What is their “magic formula”, and what can airlines learn from these digital-first retailers?

Traditionally, the order in which flight options are presented to a customer is determined via a ranking model. The model gives a weight to a series of factors, usually trip length and price, to score a schedule. The system then returns the results to the customer based on that ranking. But this method doesn’t always give customers the “best schedule”, that is, the fare they are most likely to buy.

On the other hand, machine learning-based systems, such as those used by metasearch, consider passenger and trip characteristics such as trip length, stops, featured flight, and rewards to determine booking probability.

To find out which works best, Accelya’s data science team put both approaches to the test.

In traditional schedule building, the response API does not return the “best schedule” for the customer in the first search, preventing the airline from maximizing the booking probability and revenue. The most convenient schedule is often among the lower-ranked options, obscured by other options such as the cheapest.

Accelya’s experiments show that their ML-based model has a 91% prediction success rate compared to 86% with the traditional model. For airlines flying 20 million passengers per year, that 5% difference could significantly increase revenue.

Accelya’s data science team works to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their solutions to ensure their airline customers benefit from advances enjoyed by digital-first players, such as metasearch.

Press release – AFRAA leads landmark laboratory for the sustainability of the air transport sector in Africa

Nairobi, 04 July 2022: Experts and key stakeholders from African air transport, trade, and tourism industries converged in Nairobi from 27 June – 01 July at the first-ever African aviation laboratory to develop roadmaps for the sustainability of the air transport sector in Africa.

Led and hosted by AFRAA in collaboration with the African Aviation Group (AAIG), the laboratory’s deliberations were grouped into 5 projects dedicated to seek out-of-the box solutions on specific subject areas, including: fuel and customs taxes, high taxes and charges, navigation – Free Routing Area (FRA), implementation of the Single African Air Transport Market (SAATM) and partnerships between airlines, hospitality and tourism bodies to improve intra-African tourism.

The overall objective of the Laboratory was to address the root cause of challenges facing the air transport industry in Africa and develop relevant solutions to revamp the sector. Africa’s global air traffic market share declined from 3.5% in the early 1980s to 2.5% in 2019, and African airlines’ contribution to this market share plummeted from 45% to 20% in the same period. The COVID-19 pandemic which aggravated the situation of African air transport sector, has seen Africa’s traffic market share drop to less than 2%. This marginalization trend is a strong wake-up call to all stakeholders to take necessary actions.

Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Laboratory, AFRAA Secretary General, Mr. Abdérahmane Berthé stated: “The Laboratory provides a constructive opportunity to share views and build transformative solutions necessary to address sustainability and competitiveness of Africa’s air transport. AFRAA will continue to spearhead the Laboratory outcomes with the relevant stakeholders to ensure that Africa achieves the survival in the short-term and its sustainability in the long-term.”

At the conclusion of the Laboratory, stakeholders committed to coordinate efforts on the roadmap actions to:

  1. Increase the number of fifth freedom city pairs in Africa to enhance intra-African connectivity.
  2. Develop guidelines and economic regulatory framework for rationalization of taxes, charges, and fees.
  3. Achieve competitive and affordable air travel to boost trade and tourism in Africa.
  4. Reduce the taxes on fuel and abolish custom duties on spare parts and aircraft in line with the relevant provisions of the ICAO Convention.
  5. Streamline and automate the flight permits acquisition processes across Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs).
  6. Boost flight operation efficiency in African airspace to attain productivity gains for airlines and air navigation service providers.

The roadmap, which will be tabled for adoption by AU Policy Organs shall be monitored, assessed and reviewed by a multi-sectoral steering committee coordinated by AFRAA. The committee shall be composed of the African Union Commission (AUC), the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), the African Aviation Industry Group (AAIG), African Airlines association (AFRAA), the International Cicil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Regional Economic Communities (RECs), DFIs, African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, ACI Africa, ASECNA, CANSO, the Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), the Word Tourism Organisation (UNWTO), the African Tourism Board (ATB), Satnav Africa JPO, and African Union of Consumers.

The Laboratory made a call upon States, Development Partners, Financial Institutions and other Stakeholders to support the implementation of the roadmap.

The Laboratory was hosted at the AFRAA Headquarters in Nairobi – Kenya and was attended physically and virtually by 150 participants from AFRAA, African airlines, airports, ACI Africa, Civil Aviation Authorities, Air Navigation Service Providers, AUC, IATA, AFCAC, AAIG, AfCFTA Secretariat, Afreximbank, ASECNA, CANSO, ICAO, UNECA, UNWTO, Tourism Boards, Satnav Africa JPO, the African Union of Consumers, RECs and independent industry experts.

African Aviation Summit MRO AFRICA, 14 June 2022 – AFRAA Secretary General Opening Remarks

African Aviation Summit MRO AFRICA, 14 June 2022, Johannesburg – South Africa
AFRAA Secretary General Opening Remarks

All projections highlight the increased number of aircraft to be operated on the African continent in the future.

The need to operate more aircraft to cope with the growing demand is an opportunity for MROs to develop their business.

The leading African MROs are in East, North, and Southern Africa. West and Central Africa do not have MROs performing heavy maintenance.

Maintenance accounts for a large part of airline costs. New maintenance models reducing costs are welcome by Airlines which are seeking for:

–        Shortest maintenance turnarounds,

–        Spare parts and components availability and access,

–        Engine performance monitoring to avoid unscheduled events,

–        Outsourcing line maintenance as an option for their network expansion.

African Airlines must cooperate with MROs, and OEMs to operate at optimum safety, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

In the area of aircraft maintenance, AFRAA has recently initiated two critical projects:

  • The Brown Condor Initiative aims to help our members generate revenue by selling African MRO capabilities and excess inventories of spare parts in the US Market. The project targets four MROs; Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways, SAA Technical, and EgyptAir. Ethiopian Airlines and Egyptair have already signed the agreement.
  • The spare parts pooling project aims to facilitate line maintenance by pooling spare parts at a station and preventing airlines from carrying some spare parts on board their commercial flights. AFRAA has already completed the pooling platform. We hope the 1st spare parts pooling station will be here in Johannesburg for B737 NGs hosted by South African Airways.

In conclusion, the future growth of the African Air Transport market and the need for new aircraft are opportunities for African Airlines and MROs to cooperate better and take off for sustainable development of African Aviation.

Let us prepare for this exciting future and contribute to the African economic integration.

African airlines’ performance updates by AFRAA – May 2022

Release date: 10 June 2022

Chinese authorities have set out plans to ease Covid-19 restrictions in stages for a return to more normal life from 01 June 2022. Eastern Asia and America are facing rising number of cases of COVID-19. Europe is envisaging a new wave of contamination due to two Omicron sub-variants and has initiated measures for closer surveillance. Worldwide, the cumulative number of Covid-19 cases has reached 523 million of which 12 million are in Africa. The global recovery rate is 98.8% compared to 97.9% in Africa.

In other developments, average jet fuel price continues to rise globally, impacting on airlines operating costs. From the mid-May average price of 146.5/bbl, Platts estimates the impact on airlines 2022 fuel bill is $121.1 billion.

In the month of May 2022, AFRAA estimates that African airlines’ capacity deployed reached 76.6% of 2019 capacity. Traffic recovery is now at 66.3% of 2019 pre-Covid level.

Domestic markets remain dominant in both capacity and actual passenger carried. Domestic demand at 42.1% outperformed intra-Africa and intercontinental which remained subdued at 30.2% and 27.7% for intra-Africa and intercontinental respectively. The percentage of international routes operated by African airlines is estimated to reach an impressive 92.2% in May 2022 compared to Feb 2020.

The Intra-African passenger traffic recovery is estimated at 74% in May due to the easing of anti-covid19 restrictions in several African countries.

Generally across Africa, passenger traffic volumes remain low because of the high ticket cost and travel apathy. It is hoped that with the continued relaxation of lockdown and Covid-19 restrictions in many countries, traffic will increase as we approach the summer holiday peak season.

Airline revenues remained low with many operators battling with cash-flow issues. Full year revenue loss for African airlines for 2022 is estimated at US$4.1b, equivalent to 23.4% of the 2019 revenues. In 2021, African airlines cumulatively lost $8.6b in revenues due to the impact of the pandemic, representing 49.8% of 2019 revenues

Other government regulatory Developments:

  • A total of 27 States in AFI have eased travel restrictions by removing the requirement for testing on fully vaccinated passengers. The list of the Countries include: South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria, Mauritius, Senegal, Seychelles, Togo, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sao Tome & Principe, DRC, Congo Republic,  Zambia, Mali, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Niger, Somalia, Mauritania, Eswatini and Ghana
  • Since 18th May, travelers (excluding children below age 12) to Morocco are required to present a vaccination certificate or a PCR test result of not exceeding 72 hours.

Jumping Tech and Mindset Hurdles to get to Airline Retailing

The recent CAPA Airline Leader Summit event provided the perfect forum for airline and technology partners to discuss the current distribution landscape and steps needed to meet customers’ growing expectations. Here are some learnings that the Accelya team took away from the event.

It was widely acknowledged that the past two years have been a wake-up call to the aviation industry. Now, two years on, customer behavior has changed how they shop, book flights, and the flexibility they expect, adding to the challenges airlines must meet head-on. As a result, airlines need to move from a cautious operational mindset to one that is more open and focused on retailing.

Accelya’s global head of sales and account management, Bryan Porter, pointed out that airlines need to embrace change at their own pace due to different business models, strategies, and appetite for investment. Airlines will also need to consider solutions that take a hybrid approach to this journey as carriers rarely operate in commercial isolation.

Bryan flagged some of the work Accelya did during the pandemic around NDC, revenue management, and merchandising, assisting airlines in emerging stronger. By the end of 2021, Accelya saw a 73% increase in the number of tickets sold through NDC channels compared to pre-pandemic times.

With several airlines now engaged in ONE Order and a broader appetite for cooperation, there’s an opportunity to move the needle on airline retailing. While aviation has always been a cautious industry, many accept that the cautiousness can remain while change happens alongside it.

Safran Landing Systems gets even closer to its customers

To meet the needs of airlines and maintenance centers, Safran Landing Systems has added new digital solutions to its support and services offer: Landing LifeTM

During the pandemic, Expert Link, the remote assistance solution introduced by Safran Landing Systems, was tested as a way of continuing to provide operational support and close customer contact. Today, it is widely used in many sectors – technical assistance, training, repair – and highly appreciated by its users.

The application is very simple to use and can be accessed via a tablet or smartphone. It combines a live video feed and a system to share photos, drawings and video recordings. The video feed is fully secure, whether users are out on the tarmac or in the workshop.

Several members of AFRAA have already chosen to use the solution to simplify their communications with Safran Landing Systems.

Abraham Siria – Development Engineer at Kenya Airways says, A few days ago, I managed to use the latest solution from Safran Landing Systems i.e. Expert Link, to communicate with one of the Product Engineers in charge of B737 Wheels (Jim). The experience was great, this facility reduced the TAT for solutions and is clearer than the many emails that we usually exchange whenever we’re seeking a solution. 

The Expert Link interface was pretty simple to use especially on my phone, the design is great. There were a few connectivity issues but we overcame them and had a fruitful engagement. “
