Virgin Atlantic is using generative AI market models to power its pricing engine, processing hundreds of variables in real time to make more granular commercial decisions. Based on reporting from MIT Technology Review Insights, this article examines the logic, practical effects, and uncertainties of this technology.
Airlines transport tens of thousands of passengers daily, operate hundreds of flights, and many routes involve connections rather than simple point-to-point travel. Pricing each journey requires considering hundreds of variables, including demand, seasonality, time of day, current events, global markets, and competitor activity. This is a delicate process that must constantly adapt to external changes.
Traditional methods rely on historical trends or static rules, making it difficult to respond to dynamic environments in real time. Generative AI market models have emerged to handle such real-time complex tasks.
