RateGain Travel Technologies Limited, a global provider of AI-powered SaaS solutions for the travel and hospitality sector, has announced a partnership with Sunlight Air, a boutique leisure airline based in the Philippines, to strengthen the carrier’s pricing strategy and market competitiveness across Southeast Asia.

Sunlight Air, known for connecting travellers to the Philippines’ island destinations, is witnessing rising demand from experience-driven leisure travellers. To manage evolving customer expectations and maintain affordability while protecting margins, the airline will deploy RateGain’s AirGain platform to access real-time pricing intelligence and market insights.

AirGain aggregates fare data across multiple online travel agencies in real time, enabling airlines to detect demand shifts, monitor market trends and respond quickly with data-backed pricing and route strategies. The partnership is expected to help Sunlight Air balance competitive pricing with premium leisure offerings while enhancing visibility across regional routes.

Carina G. Jayme, Manager – Revenue Management at Sunlight Air, said the collaboration will allow the airline to better anticipate fare trends and deliver accessible travel options for customers seeking comfort and value. She noted that expanding across Southeast Asia requires deeper pricing intelligence to sustain growth.

Vinay Varma, Senior Vice President and General Manager at AirGain, highlighted that Southeast Asia’s fast-evolving aviation landscape demands agile pricing decisions supported by real-time data. He said the platform will enable Sunlight Air to respond faster to market movements while safeguarding profitability and strengthening its brand positioning in the leisure segment.

RateGain stated that the partnership aligns with its broader mission to support regional and boutique airlines through AI-led revenue optimisation tools. AirGain forms part of RateGain’s intelligent pricing ecosystem, which helps carriers analyse market behaviour, identify revenue leakage and improve route performance.

With this deployment, Sunlight Air joins a growing list of airlines globally leveraging AI-based pricing technologies to navigate competitive travel markets and optimise yield management.
