The T2RL Database and Business Models
What is it?
The backbone of our analysis is an industry database of virtually all airlines, vendors, relationships, contracts, distribution, passenger activity, e-commerce, migrations and related statistics. We use this data for our own analysis and for producing charts and easy to understand dynamic graphics. Additionally we give the subscribers the ability to drill into the data to do their own analysis and reporting, and download or request specific data extracts.
 Passenger Numbers AdjustedReporting on the airline industry is a very challenging activity. Reporting on the supply of IT services to the industry just adds to the complications. At T2RL we have a methodical process to track numbers consistently and provide an ongoing and accurate representation of the state of the market. Migrations, Renewals and Implementations
 See which airlines migrated from which vendor to which new vendor system, with details on announcement date, migration date and implementation duration.
Also see new implementations and renewals for PSS. Startups
New airlines are starting up all the time. Despite frequently being unable to return the cost of capital there are investors willing to fund new airline ventures. We list startups by region, country, city, principle hub, website, fleet, routes, business model, planned operational date, investors and AOC where the information is available. Applications and Transformation to OOSD
Graphical representation of legacy airline passenger application architecture. The information documents and identifies the relationships between reservations, operational systems, revenue integrity, customer data, revenue management, accounting and business intelligence.
Looking to the future T2RL believes the industry will need to adopt an Offer-Order-Settle-Deliver (OOSD) model for network airlines to gain the flexibility and lower processing costs similar to their LCC competitors. T2RL present in-depth reports and analysis of this ongoing transformation. Distribution
Graphical and statistical views of global distribution channels of airlines by channel showing timeline growth. We work through a combination of publicly available data and our own sources to develop a perspective on where these passengers are sold and the split between direct and indirect channels. We focus on gathering information about seat sales made via airline's websites, call-centres, direct connect channels, host direct and GDS. T2RL also track the NDC (New Distribution Capability) GDS agreements each airline has signed. |
