MEET THE PEOPLE
Mark Bunting
Sydney Airport
Mark joined Sydney
Airport from American
Express Global Business
Travel where he held
various regional
positions that focussed
on regional and global
sales and decision support
analytics as well as
the development and execution of global incentive
programs.
Mark began his commercial career in the airline
industry with Ansett Australia in the early 90’s which
led to various roles with three other international
carriers. After completing his degree in Business/
Tourism Management at UTS he successfully secured
a role in the revenue management department at
Qantas in 2000.
“The Revenue management role at Qantas was my
first exposure to what revenue management was all
about but more so it was the beginning of a journey
that has shaped the last 20 years of my career!”
Mark’s revenue management role at Qantas enabled
him to understand the principles associated with
revenue and yield management as well as its
application, and it gave him hands on experience. It
also led to subsequent roles in revenue management
system development as well as airport departure
control systems.

“I would not be successful in my current role at
Sydney Airport had it not been for the experience I
gained in the revenue management roles at Qantas as
well as the sales and analytic experience I gained at
American Express.
Revenue management is an exciting strategic area
that at its core is a way of matching supply at the
right price with existing demand. At Qantas, demand
patterns repeated themselves but in parking it’s
different, which makes the approach more challenging
to apply.
Mark’s role as Commercial Manager at Sydney
Airport sees him responsible for the development
and execution of strategy and tactics that maximise
revenues through influencing customer behaviour via
the control of pricing and inventory allocation for the
airport’s car parking assets.
