Lufthansa Calculates O&D Availabilities
With Origin & Destination (O&D) from the product line ProfitLine, Lufthansa Systems has developed a revenue management solution which analyses the passenger's complete set of flights (Origin & Destination) on the basis of the booking records. This allows the airline not only to forecast the number of passengers but also their home markets and which additional flights they are likely to use.

Lufthansa Systems has now developed a new module to flexibly calculate O&D availabilities, thus enhancing its product portfolio in the field of O&D-based revenue management. Lufthansa is the launching customer to implement the complex logic and methods for the calculation of cumulated seat availabilities on O&D connections. Flexible aggregation levels and views as well as the use of web-based technology are the required pre-conditions for allowing a large and comfortable exploitation of this elaborate source of information in the sales control processes of our customers.
