I want to be a domestic air ticket agent in an air ticket company. I don't know the salary. Is there a future?

As a senior management trainer and consultant, the author is often invited to colleges and universities to share career guidance for students. In the middle of this month, I encountered several thorny problems when sharing a room in a secondary college of an aviation college in Nanjing. I consulted a lot of materials and shared some of my views and prospects!

First of all, it must be clear that the airline ticketing industry actually refers to the sum of a series of positions and jobs related to air tickets. In any airline, this is a large department with thousands of people, including ticket reservation, return and change business, VIP member management and even tourism product design. But the traditional conductor you see does not belong to this system, only the individual at the airport ticket window is, so we must distinguish!

Then, let's look at the development of the big aviation industry:

T2, T3, and the new airport have successively invested; Beijing new airport has been put into use and is expected to run at full capacity within two years; Beijing's T4 terminal began planning; During the Golden Week of 20 17, the number of overseas tourists exceeded 2 million, and the number of flights exceeded 5 million. In 20 17, airlines * * * completed 552 million passenger trips, up 13.0% year-on-year. All the data show that this industry is a sunrise industry, which is developing rapidly and continues to expand. We should have confidence in the big form.

At this time, a classmate asked me: Air ticketing will be replaced by B2C in a short time. Is there no future?

My answer is: absolutely not, absolutely not blindly follow Mount Tai!

1. There are more than 500 airlines and more than 2,000 online aviation-related organizations in the world. The complicated airline ticketing policy that cannot be unified will be the biggest obstacle to B2C in the future, and it will be impossible to complete global standardization for a long time.

2. Update several sets of international air ticket sales platforms every two hours, new, bankrupt, reorganized and closed airlines and routes, so that the whole industry can become a platform market, not an enterprise or industry, and the rules can be quickly unified.

3. Air ticketing is actually the marketing and after-sales department of products. Today's artificial intelligence is still in a very primary stage and cannot cope with the ever-changing policies and systems. Otherwise, his system and labor costs will be much higher than the customer service labor costs.

So,

I left four suggestions for extraordinary students:

1, eat technical meals instead of youth meals

Air ticketing has a long working life and does not eat youth meals. The longer the time, the more popular it is! Airline ticketing benefits are high, the working environment is good, people will never be unemployed, and talents will always be needed, especially technical management talents with certain skills and experience!

2. It is better to be an international aviation system than a domestic aviation system.

There is no domestic ticketing agency fee, and at the same time, the profit is meager. Although it is big, it is only the direction of ordinary people. It is a direction that has no worries but no great growth and challenges. If you have a career ambition and a professional development direction, you must choose the direction of international aviation. This is the general trend of "money way"!

It is better to be an airline than an agent.

It is the mainstream direction of the world for airlines to dominate the air ticket market. Real design, pricing and even controlling the tourism market are all in the bag of airlines in international practice. I hope that students with ability, education and ambition, if they have the opportunity to enter the airline, don't give up good opportunities. Don't be afraid to start from a low position and pay a certain return!

4. The third-party platform is a good entrepreneurial direction. I'm talking about entrepreneurship!

According to the "Report on the Present Situation and Market Prospect of China Air Ticket Agency Industry in 2065438+2008" published by China Market Research Network, there are a large number of air passenger transport sales agents in China, and there are more than 8,000 first-and second-class dealers with agency qualifications nationwide, so the industry market concentration is low. In the past two years, more than 100 domestic third-party platforms have risen rapidly and gained market recognition. The volume of air ticket transactions accounts for 40%-50% of the total air ticket transactions in China, and the third-party platform meets the needs of multi-level consumers in the market with the new e-commerce model. According to the forecast of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, the scale of the air ticket agency market will reach about 36 billion yuan, with huge room for growth.

With skills, resources and contacts, you can start a business if you don't want to work in an airline step by step, or just earn the difference between international air tickets in an air ticket agency. Entrepreneurship also speaks with technology!
