Air Tahiti Nui boost conversions and reduce booking abandonment

For nearly 25 years, Air Tahiti Nui has been the airline of choice for French Polynesia. Based in Papeete, it connects Tahiti to numerous destinations in 10 countries thanks to its code-sharing with partners including American Airlines, Alaska Airlines, SNCF, Aircalin, Air New Zealand, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Qantas and LATAM. It operates direct to Tokyo, Auckland, Los Angeles, Seattle and Paris. As a major player in the development of the tourism industry in French Polynesia and aware of the challenges linked to its activity (climate-energy, competition, new regulations, etc.), Air Tahiti Nui has voluntarily committed itself since 2015 to a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach.

CHALLENGES

With a competitive market and a high rate of potential customers abandoning their booking process, Air Tahiti needed a strategic solution to recapture and convert these lost opportunities. Their previous efforts to recover abandoned bookings had limited success, largely due to a lack of personalisation and timely follow-up. The key challenges were: High Cart Abandonment: Many users were leaving the site after adding flights to their cart but before completing the purchase. Low Engagement Rates: The existing customer engagement strategies were not sufficiently tailored to the individual user's journey or preferences. Limited Recovery Efforts: Previous attempts to follow up with potential customers lacked the necessary personalisation and urgency to drive conversions.
