Infare said Pharos help airlines identify the most profitable revenue management strategies by providing a graphical display of fare data.

“With Pharos, we are launching the next-generation tool of choice for analysing competitive pricing behaviour.

“Carriers can earn hundreds of millions of dollars annually by using Pharos’ visually intuitive analysis functionality to unlock fare pricing opportunities through identifying and tracking competitor patterns.”

The Pharos software streams, visualises and tailors rapidly changing market data from more than 1,300 sources and can be personalised to the needs of each airline.

Gelbjerg-Hansen added: “With its intuitive interface and rich visualisations, Pharos makes any airline’s revenue management more efficient and thereby more profitable.

“The software, like all our products, is cloud-based, and complements C-suite systems, drilling down in granular detail to reveal underlying market trends and behaviour.”

Pharos allows dynamic comparisons between carriers, using a rules-based model to instantly identify and display competitive fares.
