Season 1

Stay tuned for upcoming episodes of Airline Voice Radio. Join airline titans of transformation and outspoken thought-leaders in discussions on building the future of airline commerce.

The author of the Airlines: A Path Back to Profitability report, Henry Harteveldt, joins Jim in the studio to discuss the study’s key findings, including a renewed vigor for innovation, with 88% more airline executives expecting retailing innovation to be “extremely important” during business recovery compared to pre-Covid times.

Airline 'titan of transformation', Bill Cavendish, recently joined the Global Business Development team at Accelya from Emirates Airlines. In this episode, Jim quizzes Bill on his learnings from the last year, which includes the importance of having a direct relationship with customers and the value that ancillary merchandising brings to the airline's bottom line. We also hear of Bill's plans to bring his retailing and distribution expertise to other airline executives as part of the Accelya team.

"Steve Domin, CEO and co-founder at Duffel, joins Jim Davidson in the studio to talk about Duffel’s innovative business model and a new product launch that will bring travel sellers a wealth of fresh opportunity."

George Bryan, Management Consultant, Distribution at Hawaiian Airlines, and former Manager, Sales Distribution Strategy at Westjet, talks with Jim about the strategic importance of revenue in a post-covid scenario. These two leaders explore Hawaiian’s long-term plans and discuss the recent deal the airline signed with Accelya to tackle cross-channel distribution through NDC connectivity.

Jim Davidson’s long-time friend and industry colleague, Tony D'Astolfo, from Serko, joins him in the virtual studio to talk about the current state of business travel and how to get corporate travelers back flying. We learn that this is a time of both opportunity and challenge. And the challenges can be overcome with cooperation.

Special guest Xavier Lagardere, Head of Distribution at Lufthansa Group, catches up with Accelya’s Jim Davidson to chat about Continuous Pricing. But, the conversation doesn't stop there. From finding the energy needed for success, to delivering a 'milestone' project in the middle of a pandemic, Jim and Xavier go on to reveal some fascinating insights from behind the doors of industry leadership.
