SkyConnect Airlines seeks to launch in-flight WiFi and entertainment services to enhance passenger experience and maintain competitiveness. The analysis reveals incremental revenue of $3,396 per flight based on 120 WiFi users and four pricing models, with a recommendation to proceed pending cost-benefit analysis and break-even evaluation.

Key Insights:

  1. Market sizing requires considering both capacity utilization (80%) and service adoption rates (50% WiFi purchase) to arrive at realistic user numbers
  2. Multiple pricing models (per MB, hourly, flat rate, data packs) generate different revenue contributions and must be analyzed separately to estimate total incremental revenue
  3. A complete business case requires balancing revenue potential against implementation costs (CAPEX, OPEX, bandwidth, maintenance) and competitive threats
  4. Recommendation should acknowledge both quantifiable benefits (revenue per flight) and qualitative benefits (customer experience, capacity utilization improvement)
