Case Study: SunExpress achieves record revenue growth and streamlined inventory management with IBS Software (iFly RES)

How SunExpress improved revenue generation opportunities and boosted yield by deploying a unified seat only and tour operator allotment PSS platform

SunExpress, a Turkey-based airline carrying around ten million passengers annually and serving tour-operator, VFR and domestic markets, faced a complex distribution challenge: tour-operator allotments and seat-only inventory were managed in separate systems and teams, causing missed revenue and ancillary opportunities, high manual overheads (multiple Excel spreadsheets and two revenue analysts per flight), and inconsistent revenue management. To address this, SunExpress selected IBS Software’s iFly RES platform as a unified PSS and inventory solution.

IBS Software implemented a single-inventory PSS with integrated contract management, automatic tour-operator allotment creation, RMS integration and pooled-allotment rules, migrating over 115 tour-operator interfaces with zero disruption. The IBS Software solution enabled synchronized pricing and allocations, reduced operating costs, supported two years of record profits, helped SunExpress double capacity every two months during recovery, and improved partner relationships and ancillary revenue opportunities.
