In the world of ultra low cost airlines , one of the core principles at Wizz Air is flying its aircraft as full as possible . Reducing costs generally makes people happy about flying on its airline . But to achieve this , the data comes in to calibrate ticket prices and make sure that the airline can fill the aircraft .
Zsolt Nadas is Head of Technology at Wizz Air . His responsibility is to provide a foundation for all of Wizz Air ’ s digital ecosystem , to build and enhance digital capabilities . This includes data and analytics , cybersecurity , infrastructure , networking , and interface with all the thirdparty providers for prepackaged software . “ We can use trends in ticket prices to proactively predict for the future . We sense demand and change our capacity in markets respectively . It all comes down to a very simple formula that if our aircraft are full , and we ' re maximising all our resources , such as our pilot time and aircraft utilisation time , we can reduce the cost to the customer .
