The fight on driving revenue on Easyjet’s flights has been making progress. The revenue of the average flight is increasing and it seems that Orange Crew leaves the Ryanair crew behind in this fight.
EZ reported about its progress on the conference that was held 10 days ago. According to the report ancillary revenue increased by 22%, expelling baggage costs, the figure of baggage charges became huge, i.e. it went up by 62.3%, as for business travel accounts, the figure was over 20%.
It is probably the last thing that requires to come into notice of the other LCCs specifically Ryanair.
The enlargement of Biz Travel can be described as the availability in the GDS and one can say that it is an important fact that can serve as a lesson to any LCCs. Meanwhile the GDSs can be regarded as an anathema there is sense to provide support, i.e. a well established tool that the TMCs offer to its corporate clients.
There is an opinion that TMCs conduce to be process driven and often thanks to the growth of revenue. It looks like EZ is corroborating this fact on the coattails of improved revenue by Southwest that happened due to its reentering in the GDS.
There is not doubt that it is necessary for LCCs to make changes due to which it will be possible to offer not only standard services of booking for the Corporate business. But it is very important to weigh all pros and cons. In order to improve revenue one should augment footprint in front of the TMCs and the Corporate Travel Depts.
On Friday it was announced by the company that it carried more passengers in November if compared with the same period in 2008. 3.4 million passengers flew with Easyjet last month that led to the increase of load factor to 84.8% from 83.9%.
