Die PE ist laut der FT (paywalled, https://www.ft.com/content/41866d20-11f3-11ea-a225-db2f231cfeae) zur "most profitable class" in Flugzeugen geworden. Den von mir fettgedruckten Satz finde ich besonders interessant, da ich bisher zum Schluss kam, der massive Aufpreis von der Eco zur PE lohnt sich nicht.
Die Info zu United, die die PE auf Druck der Geschäftskunden haben, erklärt für mich vieles.
"For this added comfort, airlines are able to charge as much as 80 per cent more than an economy ticket for a product that takes up only slightly more space and does not cost the carrier much more to produce.*
“Premium economy is quite a cash cow for the airlines,” said Ben Bettell of Counterpoint Market Intelligence, an aerospace consulting company.
"In June, German airline group Lufthansa said the class is its most productive cabin, which it introduced in 2014. The carrier said revenues per square foot are 6 per cent higher than in business class and 33 per cent higher than in economy.*
"Mr Strickland noted that the worry for many airlines has been that if they offer premium economy, then business class customers might trade down, sacrificing highly profitable margins. So far, this largely has not happened.*
Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airlines, said this concern was carefully considered before the carrier developed its premium economy offering.
"Like their European rivals, they are bullish on the prospects for the class. Executives at American said the average fare for its premium economy product is twice the coach, or economy, fare, “making it the most profitable use of square footage on our widebody aircraft”.*
"Some of United’s largest corporate customers have said “we need this product” so they can offer different travel options to different grades of staff."
