ATA.ONE

ATA.ONE is the first fully automated platform which matches unsold seats on scheduled flights with travellers actively looking to travel at short notice. Here’s how it works. a) Airlines set the % of seats they want to sell (the ‘load factor’) at 48 and 24 hours before departure. They also define how much they’ll accept for unsold seats. This dictates how many seats could become up for grabs, when and at what price. b) Passengers place a bid for seats via the ATA.ONE mobile app. This could be 14 days in advance. Another 14 days allowed for return flights. c) When seats become available at a price and time that’s acceptable to the airline and passenger, the booking is made automatically. d) E-tickets are sent to the passenger and their journey can start.
