Abstract

Since the 2020s, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the development of transportation, tourism, and entertainment industries to a standstill. The idea of revenue management (RM) improved the profitability for different types of companies. Therefore, establishing a good RM model and accurate mathematical forecasting model is particularly important for struggling airlines. We herein propose a factor model based on high-dimensional time series that can efficiently use continuous time historical data and the related environmental historical data to predict the passenger load factor. Therefore, accurate and effective dimensional reduction and feature expression of highdimensional matrix time series have profound practical significance for studying time series data. To verify the efficacy of the model and parameter estimation methods, we applied them to the booking rates of 11 flights over 365 days (year 2018). After experimental analysis and comparison tests with other methods studied in the paper has the best effect and the results of comparisons with different dimensions indicate that the error rate of the proposed method is less than 0.1.
