Add-on sales: Airlines are taking in more and more money

For some years now, airlines have been accustomed to paying extra for services that used to be included in the ticket price. For the providers, this is a considerable basket of money, which is increasing all the time.

A forecast by Cartrawler shows that the so-called ancillary revenues will increase to 102,8 billion US dollars. Compared to the previous year, this means growth of around 66 percent, but it is below the pre-crisis level. In 2019, airlines made about $110 billion in upsell. The figures given relate to the global industry.
