Ways We Can Help You

Our Products
  • The Signal Actionable Intelligence Dashboard: The hub for all your actionable intelligence, the Dashboard provides monthly updates and overviews of the signal we find in:
    • The macro economy
    • The US airline industry
    • Your customized data
  • Evaluation of Profitability of Itineraries and Carriers (EPIC):  Quarterly analysis of individual domestic US routes using a sophisticated network optimization methodology developed by a Signal principal for a major US airline. With EPIC, you can see for any given US airport, now and over time how profitable:
    • A route is
    • A carrier is
    • Carriers in the aggregate are
  • Actionable Location Intelligence (ALI): Monthly, real-time market share and capture intel that’s unique because ALI:
    • Incorporates first-party (not just aggregated) mobile location data.
    • Has locations accurate to within 10 feet (not just the zip code or block level)
    • Uses a customized, commercial aviation-specific pattern recognition algorithm devised by Signal (rather than an off the shelf path-to-purchase algorithm generally used by competing location products).
    • Can “unhash” mobile phone IDs, giving you the ability to identify and influence target customers hyper-efficiently.
  • Actionable Load Factor Intelligence (ALFI): [IN BETA TEST – full launch planned 2024] Real-time load factors without having to rely on manual reporting.

Airport and Competitor Intel You Need To Optimize Network Planning

Route Evaluation

You are considering a route that has no history of air service.

  • What demand is there from other transit modes? 
  • What are the relative points of sale? 
  • What are the income demographics of people who frequent the route? 
  • If you decide to launch, how can you effectively and efficiently let people who frequent the route by other modes know about new nonstop air service?

A competitor just pulled out of a market you’ve been eyeing. One of the affected airports is promising significant revenue guarantees if you agree to backfill it.

  • What was the route financial performance?
  • How does that compare to other similar routes that airline operates?
  • Did the cancelled service generate new customers or change passenger airport choice?
  • What would have to change for you to succeed where they failed?

    Route Optimization – You’re struggling with a certain route, or kind of route, or in a certain region.

    • How are your competitors doing on similar routes?
    • Why does their performance differ from mine?
    • What can you learn and improve to attain success?

    Actionable Intelligence – Like An Instrument Panel For Air Service

    Most industry data are months lagged to reality. This means

    • Airports and airport consultants are flying blind when making decisions requiring up-to-date knowledge of airline and airport traffic and revenue performance.
    • Airlines can only see their own data.
    • Industry media and analysts have to depend on industry reports that are not only lagged, but also lacking granularity.

    Signal Aviation Consulting is disrupting the status quo, with products and services that give you constant, current, actionable intelligence in time to affect your outcomes.
