Job Summary:

United Nigeria Airlines, a leading Nigerian carrier committed to safe, reliable, and affordable air travel, seeks a dynamic Revenue Management and Pricing Manager.

In this pivotal role, you will drive revenue growth by developing and executing advanced pricing strategies, optimizing seat inventory, and leveraging data analytics to maximize yield across our domestic and regional routes.

The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, balancing market demands with profitability in Nigeria’s competitive aviation landscape.     

 

Duties/Responsiblities:

 

  • Develop and implement revenue management strategies, including dynamic pricing models, overbooking controls, and capacity allocation to optimize load factors and yield.

  • Analyze market trends, competitor pricing, demand forecasts, and passenger behavior using tools like revenue management systems to set optimal fares.

  • Monitor real-time performance metrics, adjust pricing in response to disruptions (e.g., fuel price fluctuations, seasonal demand), and conduct post-flight revenue audits.

  • Collaborate with sales, marketing, and operations teams to align pricing with promotions, route launches, and network expansions.

  • Build and maintain forecasting models using historical data, econometric analysis, and machine learning techniques to predict demand accurately.

  • Lead pricing negotiations with corporate clients, travel agencies, and online travel agencies (OTAs) to secure high-value contracts.

  • Generate executive reports and dashboards on revenue performance, providing actionable insights to senior leadership.

  • Mentor junior analysts and stay updated on industry best practices through training and conferences.

 

Employee Deliverables:

  • Revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK): Core measure of how well capacity is monetized. Improve vs. budget, route target, and prior year.

  • Yield (Average revenue earned per passenger kilometer/segment): Directly reflects pricing power | Improve while protecting load factor

  • Load factor: Seats sold as a share of seats offered | Shows demand capture and inventory effectiveness | Beat route forecast and network target

  • Forecast accuracy: Difference between forecast and actual bookings/revenue | Critical for pricing and inventory decisions | >90% at departure horizon, tighter by short lead time

  • Spoilage rate: Seats left unsold at departure | Indicates missed revenue opportunity | Reduce quarter on quarter

  • Ancillary revenue per passenger: Baggage, seat selection, priority services, etc. | Increases total revenue per customer
