Problem
Traditional onboard duty-free programs suffer from limited catalogs, complicated logistics, and low conversion rates, forcing airlines to carry unsold inventory that adds fuel costs. Physical duty-free stores face declining sales conversion rates, and time-constrained travelers often miss out on airport shopping due to security queues and tight schedules.
Solution
BONFLITE offers a duty-free ecommerce platform that lets air travelers purchase and collect duty-free items at any point across their itinerary—pre-journey, pre-flight, in-flight, post-flight, or at their destination. The solution combines the airline's customer reach and distribution channel with the airport duty-free operator's broad inventory, delivering incremental online sales for operators and boosting airline revenue while reducing the costs of onboard retail. Travelers can browse a wider catalog at their convenience and collect purchases without the hassle of airport time pressure. The platform uses innovative retail technologies and effective sales distribution capabilities to drive online conversion and streamline the entire duty-free purchase-to-collection workflow.
Target Audience
Primary customers are airlines seeking new revenue streams and reduced onboard retail costs, and airport duty-free operators looking to drive incremental online sales.
