REVENUE MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR FOR AIRLINE COMPANIES

摘要

The invention relates to a method for building a revenue database of an airline company comprising revenue information for all electronic tickets involving the airline, wherein said method includes the steps of: upon issuance and/or update of electronic tickets, collecting said tickets in real time from the airline's electronic ticket server; based on the fare information of the collected tickets and a prorating algorithm, obtaining in real time the prorated value for each coupon of said tickets; storing said prorated coupon values in a revenue database in real time, whereby said prorated coupon values constitute elementary revenue information units which can be made available for further processing steps. In order to determine the planned revenue of an airline company for a given future flight on a given departure date, the method includes a further processing step of generating planned revenue reports for the airline at any desired operational level by aggregating said coupon prorated values at a higher operational level pertaining to the operation of said future flight and departure date.
