A revenue management system for a travel provider, such as airline, a car
rental agency, a cruise line, a lodging provider; a travel agency; a bus
line or a passenger rail service provider. The revenue management system
comprises a database for storing revenue, product and service, and
customer information; a logical data model comprising a plurality of
entities and relationships defining the manner in which the revenue,
product and service, and customer information is stored and organized
within the database; and a revenue management application for analyzing
the revenue, product and service, and customer information contained
within the database to manage inventory, pricing and demand forecasting
for the travel provider. Analysis of Passenger Name Record (PNR),
booking, ticketing, inventory, schedule, authorization adjustment and
flown/ticket lift data maintained within the database enables a travel
provider to identify fraudulent and improper booking and ticketing
activity, or an airline to determine optimal passenger and revenue mix
for airline flights.
