Problem
Airports often lack a unified, up‑to‑date data source and analytical tools to identify viable new routes, forecast demand, and create credible, airline‑ready business cases, leading to missed revenue opportunities and prolonged negotiations.
Solution
PaxUp delivers a cloud‑based route development platform that consolidates origin‑and‑destination demand, airline schedules, and fare information into a single interface. The system applies airline‑trusted forecasting methods—including stimulation, leakage modeling, and proxy benchmarking—to generate demand projections, market‑share scenarios, and revenue estimates. Users can explore opportunities through interactive maps, charts, and tables, then export pitch‑ready presentations that articulate the business case to airlines. All assumptions are transparent and editable, enabling airports to defend their analyses during airline discussions. The platform is continuously refreshed with industry‑standard data feeds, ensuring analyses remain current without manual data uploads.
Target Audience
The primary users are airport route‑development teams, commercial aviation planners, and partnership managers who need data‑driven insights to secure new airline services and optimize existing connectivity.
