A research-driven approach.
Our methodical, data-driven approach measures airports based on aeronautical and economic similarities across the FAA system to objectively determine similarly-situated airports and comparable assets.
Among the set of comparable airports, a range of research-based statistical analyses derive the most important factors driving economic sustainability.
Using this innovative system of data analysis which incorporates non-aviation economic data, we train our tool to create a more granular and reliable understanding of airport activity and economic potential.
The result of this analysis, training, and testing provides fair, justifiable rate and non-discriminatory base rate estimates.
By accurately reflecting the true economic potential of each airport through our fair market rate determination, our approach not only supports sound financial decision-making but also fosters stakeholder trust and confidence.
This rigorous methodology ensures that lease negotiations are based on a standardized, transparent methodology that facilitates sustainable revenue models and investment in aviation infrastructure.
Insights Provided
While iterating and improving daily, our advanced tools and analysis currently incorporate over 250,000 aviation and economic elements at each airfield market in the contiguous United States, without the bias created by decades of “giving away the real estate to sell the fuel.”
These factors are grouped into six principal components of an airport profile and serve as the basis of our methodology for identifying similarly situated airports.
