Skyscanner promises great things: A new tool is presented to the airlines with which the unused demand for direct flights can be determined.
For example, the new tool identified the routes Berlin-Brandenburg to Cancun, Frankfurt am Main to Phuket and Düsseldorf to Bangkok as routes without a connection but with potential. In contrast to other data sources, the solution from the techno company would create tangible forecasts in order to accommodate new non-stop flight connections with up to twelve months in advance. Due to the corona crisis, the data from the past year are practically irrelevant. “As the travel market begins to recover, we are making more of our unrivaled demand data available to help partners across the aviation industry understand the evolving travel demand for routes. Our new module “Unserved Routes” within Travel Insight Vision was specially developed for airlines and airports and enables them to forecast daily market demand and create business cases for the resumption of certain direct connections or even the expansion on new routes, ”says Michael Docherty, Head of Data Products at Skyscanner.
