Optimise your fare families pricing with willingness-to-pay

Most airlines still price the gap between Basic, Standard, and Flex using fixed increments. These rules were established years ago and remain consistently applied across the network.

The result: a $55 buy-up that works on one route may suppress upsell on another, or dilute yield on a third.

ADC replaces these legacy rules with WTP-driven differentials - evidence-based, route-specific, and grounded in measured price elasticity.

  • 1-4% revenue improvement over business-rule-based pricing
  • Low operational overhead - no re-platforming required
  • Fully compatible with your existing RMS and ATPCO filing structures

Three ways to get there

When airlines decide to move to WTP-driven fare family pricing, most consider two options: buy a vendor solution, or build it in-house. But there is a third one that gives you the best of both.

Buy a vendor solution: a full pricing suite is a significant commitment associated with a long integration timeline. Your team gets locked-in for pricing engine, without a possibility to fully audit or recalibrate as the market moves.

Build in-house: complete ownership but a great risk. With robust WTP estimation, controlled experimentation, and a calibration framework, your team ends up with much more heavy lifting than it first appears.

Build with a scientific partner: own the elasticity models, the decision logic, the codebase, the experimentation methodology. We accelerate the build and de-risk the science from day one.
