COMMENT: OAG Launches MAX Online
When your sponsor and supporter launches a new product clearly one has to pay very great attention. When it is a creation such as OAG MAX Online even more attention is required. The airlines of the world may be gathering at Paris this week to view new aircraft and hear of the latest updates improving efficiency and cost saving but at the end of the day it is ”bums on seats” that count, giving the greatest yield possible.
OAG MAX Online is a revolutionary new service offering market intelligence on global flight schedules and related data. Requiring no IT or database expertise, it offers quick and easy Internet access to critical information necessary for competitive advantage in the air transport industry. It is built around the OAG schedules database of 1,000 airlines and 3,500 airports. Currently the tool provides the ability to interrogate planned schedules up to a year ahead. Historical information back to 1996 will be added to the next release within the next two months. A range of interactive query and reporting functions are overlaid onto this data, providing users with virtually unlimited market intelligence on worldwide passenger and cargo air transport.
Typically OAG MAX Online gives answers to important industry related questions such as how much capacity is available to and from one airport over the next 12 months over a particular route? What is the market share by frequency and capacity between an airport pair? And that between countries and, for example, the breakdown of services from the UK to France. Capacity relating to classes (ie first versus business versus economy) can be ascertained.
George Efkolides, Manager OAG Market Analysis, comments:
"Currently we have over 250 customers using our established analysis product on CD, ranging from airlines, airports and aircraft manufacturers to industry consultants and government agencies. Following customer feedback, OAG has developed this revolutionary online tool that enables users to look into the future and slice and dice worldwide airline schedules for the next 12 months in just a few minutes.
"No other service on the market offers such a breadth of intelligence or such a user-friendly way of turning facts and figures into meaningful reports for operational planning, competitive analysis and route development."
And if you are in need of looking up airline or airport codes you don”t even have to use the free trail offer. It is all available on http://www.oagmax.com
