It is interesting to see how US airlines’ traffic patterns evolve over time and the map.
In our model we show the origin and destination using heat maps – from green through yellow to red. One quickly gets an idea of where the travel markets are and how the markets are changing over time.
The maps allow a reader to look at the major airlines and the big regionals. Note the 2010 geo-focus and then how this evolves by 2018 – in a post merger era. For example, select United Airlines and then go through each year to see how the maps change.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
