The freight operation is also an important source of revenue for airlines. Whether it is operated with exclusive cargo planes or with cargo dispatched in the holds of passenger aircraft, the amount injected amounts to a billion dollars annually.

In 2020, Azul Cargo, Azul’s freight division, increased its revenue by 38.4% compared to 2019, totaling R$764.1 million. In the entire Latam Group (the Brazilian operation was added to the operations of other countries), for example, only the freight operation accounted for 28% of revenue in 2020, while passenger transportation accounted for 68% of the total (other revenue was only 9%) .

Despite the sharp decline in ticket sales compared to 2019 in the Latam Group (about 70%), freight revenue increased by 13% in the same period. This is due to the increased transportation of products by air, especially medical supplies and e-commerce.

In the US, revenue from other items is 47%

According to a study conducted by consulting firm IdeaWorksCompany, in partnership with technology company CarTrawler, together during 2019 Azul and Gol earned a total of only R$ 4.92 billion with revenue other than ticket sales, which amounted to R$ 2.56 billion and R$ 2.36 billion, respectively. This represented 22.4% and 17% of each individual’s revenue, which amounted to R$11.44 billion and R$13.86 billion, respectively.

The consulting company considers additional income those that are not directly related to the sale of passenger carriage on board, and loyalty programs include, among other things, in this list.

This revenue has been gaining over the years and has become a growing source of income, as IdeaWorksCompany highlights.

In the United States, for example, Spirit and Allegiant companies have 47% and 46.5% of their sales made up of additional revenue, respectively.

Among the main items sold that bring this type of revenue from companies is the selection of seats. The option of places with a larger area is the most popular among travelers, according to the advisory.

Seat pre-selection has also become a factor of interest for airlines, with more people choosing to sit at the front to get off the plane more quickly, he says. IdeaWorks.

Azul, Gol, and Latam had not commented on the billing data until this report was published.
