19. Some of the revenue challenges
we have heard from Airlines
(and how we approach them)

20. What we have learnt:
”My passengers are using mobile devices, but
revenue is behind that curve.” (Airline CCO)
Don’t recreate the web.
‘A mobile visitor is worth 3% more than a
desktop visitor.’
Give reason to re-engage.
‘Achieve >90% returning user traffic.’
Blitz the barriers.
‘easyJet generate 26% of bookings on mobile,
11% of iOS bookings through Apple Pay.’
Address the root cause.
‘1 in 3 respondents say they would spend
more money with an organisation if they had
a good mobile app.’

21. What we have learnt:
“How do I maximise revenue growth in the mobile
channel over the next 5 years” (Airline CEO)
Don’t think of it as just
a channel – it’s more.
‘easyJet generate 26% of bookings on mobile’
It’s a marathon, formed of sprints.
‘Travelport Digital customers average 4.3
releases per year.’
Explode the ‘Big Bang’ theory.
The only constant
is change.

22. What we have learnt:
“I believe we need to invest in mobile technology,
but the ROI is difficult to prove” (Airline CEO)
Focus on engagement KPI metrics.
‘Companies that set high goals for mobile customer
engagement and achieve those goals observe net
margins and revenue growth 5.1% and 6.1% higher
than their industry average.’
Do the foundations well.
‘29% of smartphone users will immediately
switch to another site or app if it doesn't
satisfy their needs (that is, they can't find
information or it's too slow.)’
A mobile mindset needs to come
from the top of the organisation.

23. What we have learnt:
“How to do I successfully extend my
brand reach” (Airline CMO)
Nurturing a new generation
of loyal advocates.
‘66 percent of companies that saw a decrease in
customer loyalty in 2016 do not have a mobile app.’
Mobile reaches customers that
wouldn’t typically engage.
‘The average person checks their mobile phone
over 150 times per day.’
Acquisition is an
ongoing effort.
Providing more contextual
communication improves engagement.
‘61% of smartphone users are more likely to buy from mobile
sites and apps that customize information to their location.’

24. What we have learnt:
“How do I ensure we are investing in
the long term” (Airline CIO)
Choose a platform
committed to delivering
ongoing value.
Actively track technology trends
but don’t invest in them all.
’Time to value’ is an ongoing
metric, not just an
implementation one.
Don’t plan for a castle,
plan for a road.
