Technology Partner for
Travel Retailers

SKYdeals for Travel Retailers is a technology partnership program that provides travel retailers with enterprise-grade e-commerce and shoppertainment capabilities. Rather than competing with retailers, SKYdeals operates as a technology partner—offering white-label platforms or API-integrated modules that retailers can deploy under their own brand to win contracts and boost sales. The technology is proven across 170+ aircraft serving 88,000+ passengers daily.

No. SKYdeals is a technology provider, not a retailer or marketplace operator. We don't hold inventory, manage concessions, or compete for retail contracts. Our business model is to empower travel retailers like you with digital capabilities that would take years to develop internally. You maintain full control of your customer relationships, brand partnerships, and commercial operations—we provide the technology infrastructure.

SKYdeals offers two partnership models. White-Label Platform: Deploy our complete technology stack under your brand identity, with full shoppertainment features, in 2-4 weeks—ideal for retailers seeking a turnkey digital solution quickly. API Integration: Integrate specific SKYdeals modules (shoppertainment features, drive-to-store, gamification) into your existing digital ecosystem—ideal for retailers with established platforms who want to add capabilities. Both models include ongoing platform management and access to our 90+ premium brand partner network.

Airports, airlines, and rail operators increasingly require digital capabilities in their RFPs. SKYdeals gives you enterprise-ready technology to include in your bids: e-commerce platform, shoppertainment features, drive-to-store functionality, analytics dashboards, and proven performance metrics (3-5x conversion uplift). Instead of promising future development, you can demonstrate technology that's already deployed at scale with Lufthansa Group, Etihad, and La Compagnie.

The white-label option deploys SKYdeals' complete technology platform under your brand identity. You get your branding and visual identity throughout the passenger experience, your customer relationships preserved, our full technology stack and shoppertainment suite, and deployment in 2-4 weeks. The platform is fully managed by SKYdeals, allowing you to focus on operations and brand relationships while we handle the technology.

The API integration option allows you to plug SKYdeals capabilities into your existing digital ecosystem. You can activate specific modules—shoppertainment engine, flash sales, drive-to-store, gamification—without replacing your current platform. Our API-first architecture connects to your inventory management, POS systems, CRM, and loyalty programs. Integration timeline is flexible based on your technical requirements and priorities.

SKYdeals provides a complete shoppertainment engine including: Flash Sales (time-limited offers creating urgency), FlyOver Deals (location-based offers), Group Buying (social purchasing mechanics), Flying Auctions (bidding experiences), Lucky Draws (instant-win games), and Loyalty Challenges (gamified rewards). These features are proven to deliver 3-5x higher conversion rates compared to traditional retail catalogs. All features can be activated individually or as a complete suite.

White-label platform deployment takes 2-4 weeks through a five-step process: scoping requirements and integration points, applying your brand identity, configuring catalog and features, connecting APIs and systems, then launching and optimizing. API integration timelines are flexible based on your existing systems and scope of integration. Both options include ongoing platform management and support from SKYdeals.

SKYdeals features API-first architecture designed for enterprise integration. The platform connects to: your existing e-commerce platform or mobile apps, inventory management and POS systems for real-time stock sync, CRM and CDP systems for personalized offers, loyalty programs (yours or your clients') for points earning and redemption, IFE and connectivity systems for airline deployments, and airport WiFi portals and digital signage. We handle the integration work with your technical teams.

SKYdeals includes a comprehensive analytics dashboard with real-time insights: conversion metrics, basket size analysis, engagement rates, feature performance, A/B testing capabilities, and passenger behavior data. Reports can be customized to your requirements and exported for client reporting. This data helps you optimize performance on current contracts and build compelling cases for future bids.

SKYdeals meets enterprise security requirements: GDPR compliant for data protection, PCI DSS certified for payment processing, and SOC 2 attestation for operational security. The platform is built to meet the compliance requirements of major airlines, airports, and rail operators. Security documentation is available for inclusion in your RFP responses.

Yes. SKYdeals provides complete inflight e-commerce capabilities: platform integration with IFE and connectivity systems, full shoppertainment feature suite, ancillary revenue and upselling tools, and proven deployment experience with Lufthansa Group (170 aircraft), Etihad Airways, and La Compagnie. You can offer airlines a turnkey retail solution as part of their inflight strategy, with technology that's already proven at scale.

Yes. SKYdeals provides the digital capabilities airports increasingly require: drive-to-store functionality from WiFi portals and apps, pre-arrival engagement and pre-order services, lounge integration, and cross-store promotions. These features help you stand out in RFPs by demonstrating digital innovation that drives passenger traffic to physical retail locations and increases conversion rates.

Yes. Rail operators are actively digitizing onboard retail, and SKYdeals provides the technology: onboard retail platform optimized for train connectivity, seat-to-cart purchasing experience, loyalty program integration, and multi-operator capability for retailers serving multiple rail networks. The platform adapts to rail-specific requirements including station-based deals and commuter engagement patterns.

Yes. Both partnership models include access to SKYdeals' network of 90+ premium brand partners who operate on a dropshipping model. This expands your product catalog without inventory risk—brands ship directly to customers. You can combine this network with your existing brand relationships, giving you flexibility in catalog management.

SKYdeals offers flexible commercial structures tailored to your business model: revenue share on incremental sales generated through the platform, fixed licensing fees for technology access, or hybrid models combining both approaches. The model can be structured to align with your concession agreements and client contracts. We work with you to create a partnership structure that makes commercial sense for both parties.

SKYdeals supports multiple fulfillment models to match your operations: integration with your existing logistics and warehouse systems, dropshipping through our brand partner network (brands ship directly to customers), click-and-collect at retail locations, and home delivery coordination. You maintain control over fulfillment strategy—we provide the technology to execute it.

Both partnership models include ongoing platform management: hosting and infrastructure, software updates and new features, technical support, performance optimization, and security maintenance. You also receive dedicated account management for strategic planning and quarterly business reviews. Our team works as an extension of yours, ensuring the technology continuously delivers results.

Based on deployments with Lufthansa Group, Etihad Airways, and La Compagnie, SKYdeals technology delivers measurable results: 3-5x conversion uplift versus traditional retail, significant increases in average basket size, 78% passenger engagement rates (versus 12-15% industry average), and enhanced customer satisfaction scores. These metrics are available for inclusion in your RFP responses and client presentations.
