Revenue Management Flight Analyst – Network Optimization

Abu Dhabi, UAE

• Etihad Airways
• Aviation / Commercial Analytics
• Full-time On-site

The Context

Etihad Airways, the UAE's national carrier executing its ambitious Journey 2030 strategy to double its fleet and expand its global network, is looking for a Flight Analyst to join its Revenue Management team in Abu Dhabi. The role sits at the commercial heart of Etihad's operations, driving revenue through intelligent inventory management, overbooking optimization, and data-driven forecasting across the global network.

What The Role Covers

Inventory Management & Overbooking Strategy

You forecast no-show and cancellation trends across assigned routes, optimize overbooking strategies to maximize revenue while balancing guest experience and denied boarding costs, and manage inventory during peak periods using market insights, historical trends, and seasonal demand patterns. You leverage PROS and multiple data sources to identify trends and recommend inventory actions.

Network Performance & Demand Forecasting

You monitor forward booking trends, analyze route performance, and highlight deviations from expected demand patterns. You partner closely with Revenue Management, Market, and Group teams to correct forecast imbalances and unlock revenue opportunities across the network.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

You work closely with Network Operations and Airport Managers to proactively manage flights where denied boarding is anticipated. You act as the Revenue Management point of contact for route performance discussions and develop practical solutions balancing operational efficiency, customer experience, and commercial outcomes.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

You design and implement inventory management approaches for initiatives including redemption and non-revenue travel, evaluate revenue dilution risks, and produce insightful reporting that demonstrates performance trends and commercial impact.

Candidate Profile

• University degree in Economics, Business, Statistics, or a numerate discipline
• 4+ years of experience in the travel industry, with at least 2 years in Revenue Management, Commercial Sales, or an analytics environment
• Previous experience with inventory management and Revenue Management systems is beneficial
• Experience with PROS or equivalent RM systems is a plus
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities with ability to interpret large datasets
• Commercial acumen with a passion for aviation and revenue optimization
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills across multiple teams

Why This Role Stands Out - Supply Tech Nexus Take

Revenue Management at a carrier like Etihad is one of the most analytically demanding commercial disciplines in aviation — combining real-time data analysis, predictive modeling, and commercial decision-making at scale across a global network. The PROS system expertise and overbooking strategy dimension make this role particularly valuable on the CV, as these skills transfer directly across airlines and travel technology companies globally. As highlighted in our previous Etihad listings, compensation packages at the airline typically include tax-free salary, housing allowance, flight benefits, and medical coverage, making the total package significantly more attractive than the base figure alone.
