Acknowledgement

In a span of time, few achievements of note have been the product of effort of one person. Instead, they were been accomplished through efforts of group. Similarly, the outcome of our Project report would have been impossible without the cooperation, diligence, understanding and encouragement of number of people. First, we are thankful to all those known and unknown entities that helped us throughout our project work. We would like to express our deep sense of gratitude to Prof. Sameer Mathur for giving us the required guidance and support and motivation required during our project work.

Executive Summary

This project report describes the study about the premium economy class that has recently been introduced in the airlines as a brand extension to leverage the brand potential and reach closer to brand actualization. This project report considers certain variables which are assumed to effect the price of premium economy class seats with respective to economy class seats, these variables are listed in the report.This report portrays the regression analysis done on R, to find out the factors affecting the price of premium economy class seats in airlines. This regression analysis uses the data collected for different airlines for various factors, which are mentioned in the report. This project is done to understand the price setting of the premium economy class seats in airlines. This reports also shows calculation done for jet airways in particular to compare it with rest of airlines put together in the study.

Inferences:

Here the p-value is 0.07931 which shows there is no significant difference between two models, model 4 and model 5 but the adjusted r-square value is 0.8346 which is better than previous model. So considering this model.

Page 18: Pricing of premium economy class in airlines

Model 5’s P-value is <2.2e-16 < 0.05 hence it is significant. This model contains 8 interaction. They are between quality and flight duration, between quality and international variable, between quality and N variable, between quality and lambda variable, between width and flight duration, between width and international variable, between width and N variable & between width and lambda variable, and it implies that with increase in one unit of lambda (no. of premium seats as compared to total seats, it increases price of premium economy by $692. Similarly for width the prices of premium economy increases by $465.3 but two interaction shows almost zero value change whereas two interaction shows that with one unit increase will decreases prices of premium economy by $716.67 and $669.7 for interaction between international and width , and between lambda and width respectively. Here with one unit increases in interaction between lambda and quality suggest that the prices of premium economy increases by $291.61. Rest 3 interactions have almost negligible interactions.

Interactive model 5 in Excel :To determine the value of price of premium economy, use above model by incorporating few or all variables to decide the prices.
