Through the AirGain dashboard, the airline gains deeper insight into fare movements, detects market shifts early, and responds swiftly from a single interface, backed by high-frequency rate shopping and round-the-clock support services.

AirGain’s newly launched, AI-powered dashboard, backed by our dedicated support teams, gives PAL’s revenue and pricing teams both the signals that matter and a partner to act on them with. We are confident this combination will help PAL become more profitable, distribute smarter, and react to market changes instantly as it reaches new heights across its global network.”
