Delta To Use AI TO Determine How Much Passengers Are Willing To Pay For A Flight

Delta Airlines is rolling out an AI-powered pricing system developed with Israeli startup Fetcherr to tailor ticket costs to each passenger.
————————-
It is currently used on about 3% of fares and is expected to expand to 20% by the end of the year after early tests showed a nearly 9% boost in revenue per seat.
————————-
Delta describes this as a complete reengineering of how fares are set, moving from static pricing to a personalized offer management model. The AI analyzes large amounts of data to predict how much a traveler is willing to pay for a specific flight.
————————-
Critics say this is a form of “predatory pricing” that could target loyal or frequent travelers who are willing to spend more. Some also raise concerns about how much personal data is being used to make these decisions.
————————-
Delta says prices are still based on trip details and are publicly filed, but it has not fully explained how it protects customer data.

Do you think this will lead to cheaper tickets on slower routes or higher prices for those who fly often?
