Specifically, the airline experienced a 162% increase in traffic this year compared to 2019 levels, with 119 daily flights, putting it in first place among all European airlines.
To remain competitive in the face of rising airfares and route cuts, SKY express sought to offer the most competitive prices across all fare types. AirGain was able to provide the necessary data on all fare families, making it the preferred provider over other fare intelligence providers in the industry.
