Longtail.ai builds autonomous pricing software for airlines. It analyzes large datasets on flight schedules, pricing, and demand to map every possible itinerary—direct, one-stop, and two-stop routes—and uses proprietary ranking to compare these options with competitors. The result is dynamic fare structures that adapt to seasons, classes, and product types. The platform runs automatically, continuously updating fares in real time to reflect frequent price and schedule changes (reported to be up to billions of updates daily), reducing the need for manual intervention. It works independently of an airline’s existing IT systems, enabling easy adoption. The team combines airline industry expertise with advanced technology to expand networks, optimize routes, and unlock new revenue opportunities through data-driven pricing.
