you online, consumers are apprehensive about the shift from equal
pricing to personalized pricing. Additionally (Freed, 2015), mentions A
survey by Unisys found only 27% of Australians are comfortable with
being identified as targets for offers via social media. Hence these
strategies involving price discrimination are done in moderation and done
in a sensible way without violating a customers trust or privacy. Hence
several measures such as disclosures are being used to inform customers
of the firms behavior. However ultimately as the market moves towards
personalized pricing, airlines would undoubtedly follow in order to adapt
to the changing business environment and to survive. As firms are
constantly seeking to maximize profits, those who choose not to seek
new ways of generating revenue are likely to be left behind.
Many of the strategies airlines use resemble those mentioned in the
aforementioned article. Each one has its own unique implications for both
the consumer and the airline. As the prevalence of strategies of this
nature continues to increase, airlines need to consider the perspectives of
the consumer and their concerns with such business behavior to the point
where perhaps an airline may need to limit the use of such strategies.
Thus the movement towards personalized pricing is having an
exponential impact on the aviation industry.
