AirAsia X exploring ‘bed-like’ economy product as it continues to defy convention
Future Travel Experience    Jan 2015
Azran Osman Rani, CEO of AirAsia X, discussed the carrier’s interest in developing a “bed-like” economy class product with FTE Editor Ryan Ghee. He said, the Empty Seat option, which offers passengers the chance to secure one or two empty seats next to their own seat for a nominal fee if they are not otherwise sold, provides a great example of how the long-haul, low cost carrier balances passenger-focused enhancements and monetisation, and equally highlights how the airline is willing to break the mould. As Osman Rani explained, it “creates a way of monetising three seats to potentially one person on an option basis without necessarily selling those seats in advance and losing the revenue potential of what selling three seats can give you”.

Fly in Style for a Bargain
Die Welt - Leading National Newspaper Daily, Germany    Aug 2010
Ein US-Spezialist vermarktet teure Flugzeugsitze zu Billigpreisen
Hamburg - Passagier Dean Roberts aus dem südenglischen Crawley ist sichtlich entzückt: "Ich bin für umgerechnet 641 Euro von London nach Mumbai in der ersten Klasse geflogen." Ein Schnäppchen. Normalerweise hätte der Brite für einen Sitz in der Nobelklasse der indischen Fluglinie Kingfisher 1653 Euro bezahlen müssen. Dass er vergleichsweise billig geflogen ist, hat er der Partnerschaft zwischen der Airline und dem in Boston ansässigen Reisemakler Optiontown zu verdanken. Dessen Geschäftsmodell ist so simpel wie effektiv. Danach meldet eine Fluglinie ihre unverkauften Plätze in der First oder Business Class an Optiontown.
