It's growing, people![edit]

I created this definition on December 9, 2007. The ancillary revenue movement is growing in terms of airline types and geography. Ryanair and Allegiant Airlines (USA) are generally considered to be leaders in terms of revenue produced per passenger. But even major airlines, such as Aer Lingus, SAS Scandinavian, and Korean Air Lines have referenced statistics in their annual reports. This definition is offered as a work-in-progress as ancillary revenue activity will continue to evolve. The definition is based upon the reports I have written on the topic, and the presentations I observed as chairman of the first ever ancillary revenue conference (ARAC 2007: December 14/15, 2007 Frankfurt, AirlineInformation.org).

NPOV[edit]

As it stands at the moment, the article is seriously distant from neutrality; instead, it reads more like an essay arguing that the Ryanair way is the future of commercial aviation. Needless to say, this is a controversial approach that needs balance and citations. Vectro (talk) 05:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm new at authoring and concur with your assessment and will make changes to demonstrate the controversy associated with ancillary revenue. Jaylouissorensen (talk) 15:22, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As it stands, none of the problems that Vectro has mentioned appear to have been addressed. 182.239.139.158 (talk) 08:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not just airlines[edit]

I think "ancillary revenue" is probably a fairly widely-used term in business accounting. It's not just for airlines. In fact I came to this page as I was trying to better understand the use of the term in the accounts of a university. In their usage it refers to revenues from residence fees, and perhaps other non-academic things.

Oh-oh, it's also sexist[edit]
