ForwardKeys’ mission is to empower the strategic decision-making of travel-dependent companies based on science and truth. Through our aviation data, clients gain unparalleled insight into the performance of their business or investment.
Although ForwardKeys’ extensive client base mainly consists of destination marketing organisations and travel retail companies, any company that relies on international travellers can use our data to inform key business decisions.
ForwardKeys has several datasets, reflecting historical and forward bookings, global seat capacity, flight fares, and more. What really sets our data apart, however, is its unique combination of high granularity and extensive market coverage.
Aviation data like no other
ForwardKeys owns several datasets. Actual Air Tickets combines information from major online travel agencies with data on tickets booked directly at the airlines, while Seat Capacity shows the offer of seats from 99% of direct commercial flights worldwide.
Total Air Market, the most comprehensive air travel dataset in the industry, estimates the total number of tickets booked, changed and cancelled daily for all global commercial airlines and combines this information with details on the profile of travellers and their trip characteristics. This is then complemented with, and referenced against, data from additional external sources.
