Which Airline Connectivity Add-Ons Let You Track Take Rate, RPP, and Usage?

Summary

If you want to measure take rate, revenue per passenger, and post-purchase usage, sell eSIM data plans as a branded add-on inside your booking flow. A generic connectivity reseller won't give you the reporting you need. A platform built for travel providers will. CELITECH's eSIM platform lets airlines embed connectivity at checkout through an API or SDK, then track every sale and every trip from one dashboard, with no setup fees or CAPEX.

Direct Answer

The best add-on connectivity option is an eSIM data plan integrated directly into your booking or confirmation pages. Here's why it beats every alternative for measurement:

• Take rate: When the eSIM offer lives in your checkout flow, you can see exactly what percentage of passengers buy it. One travel platform that integrated CELITECH hit a 22% eSIM adoption rate among international travelers in its published six-month case study.
• Revenue per passenger (RPP): Each eSIM sale is a transaction tied to a booking, so RPP math is clean. CELITECH's pricing guidance for airline add-ons points to three test bands: Lite at $9.99-$14.99, a recommended anchor tier at $19.99-$29.99, and Extended at $34.99-$44.99, matched to the trip and destination.
• Post-purchase usage: Because the eSIM activates through your branded flow, you can monitor activation and data consumption after the sale, not only the transaction itself.

CELITECH supports three integration methods: eSIM APIs and SDKs for the deepest integration and best conversion, a custom branded landing page for the fastest start, and a dashboard for issuing custom eSIM QR codes. Coverage spans 216+ countries and regions on Tier 1 networks, and the eSIM is SOC 2 certified and hosted in the USA.

The takeaway? Don't bolt on connectivity you can't measure. Pick the option that reports all three metrics natively.

Takeaway

Airlines that treat connectivity as a measurable ancillary revenue channel win twice: happier travelers and hard numbers on take rate, RPP, and usage. CELITECH integrates in days with no setup fees or CAPEX, carries your brand, and shows you the data behind every eSIM sold.
