ATLANTA, Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Volantio today announced a new client, Breeze Airways. Founder David Neeleman, the Founder of JetBlue Airways and Breeze and Co-Founder of WestJet, calls the start-up airline the “the newest, nicest domestic low-fare airline, with more than 120 nonstop routes.” Breeze has two major use cases for Volantio’s platform. The airline is already using the technology to manage overbooking, and plans to use it to grow demand with better revenue benefits for travelers. Not only can the airline maximize the efficiency of moving passengers, they can provide new benefits that can help increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
“At Breeze Airways, we care deeply for our guests and the experience we provide. The implementation of Volantio’s platform allows flexibility post-booking and an improved experience. I am confident that this partnership will allow Breeze to maximize our revenue potential by offering flexibility post-booking, optimizing our operations, and fostering loyalty and trust by ensuring a seamless and tailored experience. The results from Volantio’s platform will be a game-changer for Breeze Airways,” said Lukas Johnson, Chief Commercial Officer at Breeze.
Breeze looked to Volantio to a competitive advantage as the low-cost airline market is extremely competitive, with thin margins. Volantio’s platform, guided by machine learning, identifies high demand flights, and crafts customized offers to incentivize passengers to move to lower demand flights. Volantio helps Breeze fill more seats on more flights with offers that are appealing to its customers.
“As a start-up ourselves, we understand the high stakes that Breeze Airways is facing. With our flexibility platform, the airline gains tremendous leverage, unlocking the inherent flexibility in the air travel market. We look forward to rolling out the platform to drive new customer benefits in the coming months,” said Azim Barodawala, CEO and Co-Founder of Volantio.
