INDUSTRY TRENDS
There is general agreement that the airline industry has experienced significant increases in
ancillary fee revenue, even while passenger fare revenue has remained flat or even declined.
Beyond that general agreement however, there are few reliable metrics that can be used as a
precise measure of revenue for the types of fees in this report. That is because there are
varying definitions of what constitutes an “ancillary fee” and because revenues are often not
tracked at that level of detail, even by the airlines themselves. A sense of what industry
observers have seen is apparent in both government statistics and industry consulting
publications:
“Ancillary airline revenues have increased from 2005 through 2009 and continued their
increase in 2010. At the same time, actual passenger ticket revenues have shown a
slight decrease.” - U.S. DOT RITA
“The world has changed dramatically in four years with 47 carriers [worldwide]
disclosing 2010 ancillary revenue activity of €15.11 billion ($21.46 billion). This
represents ancillary revenue growth of 38% over 2009 and 96% since 2008.” -

These trends mask considerable variation from airline to airline and from year to year, however.
