While apgDat users in the U.S. benefit from U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") data, users in the rest of the world do not enjoy such luxuries. Airport Marketing and Air Service Development professionals around the globe therefore often struggle to gather the intelligence they need on passenger traffic so that can attract more airlines to their airports.

apgDat FM^g provides global fares and market sizes based on ticket settlement data provided by Diio partners Airlines Reporting Corporation("ARC") and International Air Transportation Association (IATA).

apgDat FM^g is an optional add-on module to the basic apgDat market intelligence hub, and it is targeted at users outside the U.S. Like the main product, apgDat FM^g runs over the internet, allowing the user to perform complex analyses by entering a few easy-to-understand keystrokes and clicking a button.

Additionally, carriers comprising over half of the world's capacity currently purchase fare and market size information based on the same proprietary calibration techniques and algorithms used in apgDat FM^g.

The apgDat FM^g module includes:

apgDat FM^g brings the most reliable information on global fares currently available to airports. Using transaction settlement data from nearly a billion tickets sold each year, apgDat FM^g contains the actual fares that real passengers pay for their travel. In contrast, aviation data tools based on bookings are forced to estimate fares using fare class indicators, because bookings records do not contain the final fares that passengers pay.

apgDat FM^g reports the number of passengers that travel between various points around the globe based on an extensive sample of ticket sales. The tickets that flow through the ARC and IATA settlement systems originate from over 30 global distribution systems ("GDSs") worldwide, including online GDSs in the United States. While FM^g reports total market sizes including tickets sold directly by the airlines, calibrating the market size is inherently more accurate when starting from a large foundation.

apgDat FM^g is the first truly global source of aviation market intelligence that comes from ticket data. FM^g combines ARC data for tickets sold in the United States with IATA for tickets sold in 163 other nations around the world, including nations uncovered by other sources like China and Russia.



Like apgDat, apgDat FM^g is sold on a subscription basis for a single annual fee, and there is no limit to the amount of reports that the user can run. Because FM^g is an add-on to apgDat, its users must also subscribe to apgDat. FMg is also combinable with apgDat FM^d to gain valuable insight into the U.S. Domestic Market.

Take the opportunity to see for yourself how you can harness the combined power of ARC, IATA, and Diio in apgDat FM^g by contacting a Diio professional directly for a demonstration at (703) 748-5307.
