Airport commercial systems

An airport’s most profitable business runs on averages.

Non-aeronautical revenue moves with who is departing, not how many. AeroYield forecasts demand at the flight and cohort level, then runs the commercial estate against that forecast.

Departure banks — one terminal, one day

00:00

01:00–03:00
Late-night low-cost, domestic. 4,820 seats departing, 41 minutes median dwell, duty-free index 4.
06:00–08:30
Early-morning domestic, business-weighted. 11,640 seats departing, 55 minutes median dwell, duty-free index 9.
20:30–23:00
Evening long-haul, wide-body. 8,270 seats departing, 96 minutes median dwell, duty-free index 38.

Market context

Non-aeronautical revenue is the profit engine.
It is also the part that has not recovered.

Share of total airport revenue

36.7%

Non-aeronautical share of total airport revenue, globally.

43.5%

Non-aeronautical share across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

Non-aeronautical revenue per passenger

$4.30

Average across major Indian PPP airports.

$7.20–15.90

Range across global hubs.

$16+

Middle East.

Recovery

−9%

Globally, non-aeronautical revenue still trails pre-2019 levels by roughly this much, even as passenger volumes have recovered.

Platform

What OmniLithTech does

OmniLithTech builds intelligent systems for infrastructure-scale operators. We work where a forecast has to survive contact with live operations, and where a model is only useful if the estate around it can act on the output.

01
Applied forecasting
Demand models built on operational data, scored against outcomes rather than backtests, and retrained on the cadence the operation actually runs.
02
Systems integration
Deployment into live operational environments — schedule feeds, point-of-sale, parking, signage and screen networks — with a rollback path at every stage.
03
Commercial orchestration
Turning a forecast into instructions the estate can execute: staffing, promotion, price, inventory and screen inventory, coordinated against one demand picture.

Product

The flagship

Early deployment

AeroYield

An AI commercial operating system for airports. AeroYield forecasts passenger demand at the flight and cohort level, then orchestrates the commercial estate against that forecast so non-aeronautical revenue per passenger rises.

It is sold on a performance fee against an audited baseline. The airport pays a share of the uplift AeroYield creates, and nothing if there is none.

  • Demand forecasting
  • Pre-order commerce
  • Dynamic pricing
  • Programmatic advertising
  • Privacy-compliant data

Engagement

How an engagement runs

Four stages. Nothing touches a live commercial decision until the forecast has been scored against actuals in a sandbox.

  1. Stage 01

    Baseline audit

    We measure current non-aeronautical revenue per passenger with your finance team, and agree the baseline in writing before anything is deployed.

  2. Stage 02

    Sandboxed pilot

    One terminal, one zone, read-only integrations first. Forecast accuracy is scored against actuals before any commercial action is taken.

  3. Stage 03

    Airport-wide rollout

    Progressive expansion across zones and categories, with the baseline held fixed so every movement above it stays attributable.

  4. Stage 04

    Portfolio scale

    Behavioural models learned at one airport transfer as a baseline to the next, shortening every subsequent deployment.

Commercial model

You pay a share of the uplift. Nothing else.

AeroYield is sold on a performance fee against an audited baseline. We measure your current non-aeronautical revenue per passenger before deployment, agree it in writing, and take a share of the increase above it. No uplift, no fee.

Baseline
Agreed with your finance team before deployment, and fixed for the term.
Fee
A share of measured uplift above that baseline. No licence fee, no seat fee, no minimum.
Downside
If the estate does not earn more, OmniLithTech does not earn.
Audit
Uplift is calculated from your systems of record, not ours, and is open to your auditors.

Start with the baseline audit.
