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.

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.
