United Airlines and AirTran Airways released their fourth quarter 2009 financial results and there were a few tech items immersed in all of the news.
United, which narrowed its loss to $240 million for the quarter, revealed that increases in fees for first and second bags, ticketing and reservations changes accounted for a 0.4 percentage point uptick in PRASM (passenger revenue per available seat mile) in the fourth quarter. However, overall PRASM declined 5.2% in the quarter.
United recently named Thomas O’Toole as its chief marketing officer. Part of O’Toole’s responsibilities will be to further develop the airline’s mechandising strategy, which includes bag fees and Economy Plus seating.
