Overbooking
Why do we overbook?
On average 13% of the booked passengers do not show up at the check-in counter!
As a result we leave with empty seats!

KCAA/MOI UNI/EMBA/PK/9th May 14

Overbooking
E.g.
Capacity = 221 seats
With no overbooking 221 seats are sold
No-show = 13%: 29 passengers will not show up! Revenue loss of 29 seats * 150 USD =
4.350 USD per flight!

Why do we have denied boardings?
The no-show percentage is an average based on historical data.
But market changes influences the no-show percentage. KCAA/MOI UNI/EMBA/PK/9th May

    Continental Airlines

    Continental Airlines

    The short-term solution of decreasing flight capacity by 11% affects many factors in the operation of Continental Airlines. At first, it seems that a reduced number of flights and available seat miles would only benefit an airline that is failing to fill its flights and is losing out on profits because of it. On the other hand though, one must look deeper into the effects to find which costs are directly related to a reduction in flight capacity and which costs will largely be unaffected by the proposed solution. After examining the ten operating costs that Continental incurs throughout quarterly operation, I concluded that some of these costs are fixed or would not have a reaction to changes in flight capacity. In contrast, there are a few costs that are directly related to flight capacity and would see a large reduction with the cut in capacity. Table 1 below shows the ten costs that are incurred, details about each cost, and how they vary with a change in flight capacity.…

    Budget Airline

    A patent entitles the inventor of a new product to prevent others from selling, manufacturing, making, marketing or importing the patented product for a limited period of time. This can provide the patent holder with a monopoly position in the market for that product, which allows them to charge a higher price and achieve their expected returns (both tangible and intangible). Pharmaceutical companies used this strategy to maintain their market competitiveness and guarantee the returns on the investment on research and development of their products. The patent law and policy also protect and encourage manufacturing companies to invest in the research and development of new products that ultimately will benefit the end users.…
