Dominican low-cost airline Arajet has selected the supplier of the system that will support its revenue management operations. As reported in a press release, the company opted for software Eddy, developed by Kambr, a Dutch company specialising in the development of revenue data inventories for airlines.
According to Arajet, the new carrier will hire guidance services for the implementation of the new technology, as well as a team to support the development and optimisation of revenue management processes.
As part of the implementation work, Kambr will integrate with the airline’s passenger service system to streamline the flow of data between the two tools. From the agreement, it will help Arajet strengthen its capabilities in this area from the very foundation of the processes, and with a mid- to long-term approach.
«It’s always exciting to start fresh and instill best practices from the beginning which sets up an airline for long-term success», commented Jason Kelly, CEO of Kambr.
«We want to be a game changer in the region, unlocking the pent-up demand for air travel at unmatched prices», said Greg Tarniowy, Arajet’s Vice President of Revenue. «Kambr, with its agile and scalable software, highly praised services and hands-on limited liability companies expertise was a clear choice for us», he said.
Arajet prepares to launch operations
On 8 August, Arajet launched its tickets for sale for the very first time. The company expects to complete its first regular commercial operation on 15 September: flight DM 3010, bound for Barranquilla’s Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport (BAQ), is scheduled to depart from Santo Domingo’s Las Américas International Airport (SDQ) at 6:30 (local time) and arrive at 7:10 (local time).
After taking delivery of its fourth Boeing 737 MAX 8, the Dominican Republic’s first low-cost airline revealed that it will initially offer services to thirteen destinations in nine countries. It will have between two and five weekly frequencies, depending on each route, and will sell tickets for between 54 and 140 dollars per leg.
The company will seek to establish a hub in Santo Domingo that can compete in the region with the already established by Copa Airlines in Panama City and Viva’s incipient hub in Medellín.
