East2 – Boosting Airlines Customer Loyalty Programs

By Mallika jain

Airline loyalty programs date back to the late 1970s and early 1980s, and they were designed to offer high levels of recognition and reward travellers in return for their loyalty. However, this original purpose has somewhere become weaker as airlines began to prioritize profitability initiatives in order to survive in the increasingly competitive market. A fragmented booking landscape means airlines have only gathered 10.6% or USD 82.2 Billion of the USD 776 billion available in the ancillary market. This growing conflict of the failure for travellers to easily redeem their points for their preferred travel rewards generated various challenges.

What are the Impediments?

For Airlines

  • The crescenting battle between loyalty recognition and value delivery
  • Mounting redemption liabilities
  • Reducing traveller loyalty towards the brand
  • Increasing administration/operational costs
  • Obstacles in accessing ancillary revenue streams

For Travellers

  • Inadequate and inefficient booking experience
  • Unmet expectations, reducing the value of the brand
  • Lack of central booking process

East2 – Extending the Right Solution

previously developed a proprietary airline internet booking engine, which was used by Sabre
Inc. Dallas, USA, and also power various airlines’ online booking systems around the world
today.

To address the aforementioned challenges, the company has extended a robust loyalty
program. East2’s Air Loyalty Plus program incorporates blockchain technology and EDOS
(utility) tokens. It is specially designed to enable travellers to easily manage as well as redeem
their hard-earned rewards, at the same time, reducing costs and adding significant ancillary
revenue streams for airlines.

The program by East2 centres on blockchain technology and uses smart contracts to offer

needs of both, the buyers and the airlines. The reward model intends to boost satisfaction level

makes sure that the airlines obtain maximum profits as well as productivity through this program
and reduce the manual work.
