Independent Aviation Analytics

The airline invoices.
We verify.
You have control.

Route IQ cross-references federal filings against airline self-reported performance data — giving airports and community partners an independent ongoing monitoring trail before invoices arrive.

Airlines file data with the DOT every month — separate from anything they report to you.

Most airports don’t know this cross-reference exists. It does. We built a product around it.

The audit right exists in most incentive contracts. It is almost never invoked. Route IQ removes the confrontation.

Three Product Tiers

One independent data source.
Three enforcement use cases.

Route IQ delivers ongoing monthly monitoring rather than point-in-time studies. Formatted for board presentations, DOT submissions, and contract enforcement conversations — not just internal awareness.

Tier 01 · EAS
EAS Reliability Monitor
For EAS airport directors. Early warning before reliability decline becomes an enplanement problem.
  • Monthly completion factor vs. contracted DOT frequency
  • Cancellation cause breakdown (carrier / weather / NAS)
  • Enplanement eligibility runway projection
  • Carrier cross-market benchmarking across EAS network
  • Subsidy efficiency & $ per enplanement league table
  • Rebid preparation package
Tier 02 · ACIP
ACIP Performance Verifier
For mid-size commercial airports. Systematic independent cross-check with clawback documentation.
  • Monthly flight threshold compliance vs. ACIP minimums
  • Clawback documentation formatted for enforcement
  • Down-gauge detection — seats reduced without cancellation
  • OTP tracking against contract thresholds
  • Carrier market commitment scoring across all routes
  • Annual board-ready summary report
Tier 03 · MRG
Community MRG Audit
For CVBs, chambers, and EDAs. T-100 is a parallel federal filing — not covered by your NDA.
  • Pre-invoice departure analysis before each quarterly payment
  • Departure shortfall documentation with T-100 evidence
  • Carrier vs. weather cause attribution
  • MRG payment exposure estimate
  • Annual summary for board or city council
  • Contract renewal leverage documentation
Why Route IQ

The information asymmetry that makes this possible.

Three structural facts about the aviation data landscape that most airports and community partners don’t know — and that Route IQ is built on.

01
T-100 is a parallel federal filing
Airlines file BTS T-100 Segment data directly with the DOT every month. This filing is completely separate from the performance data they report to you. It contains departures scheduled, departures performed, seats, and passengers by route. It is free, public, and not covered by any NDA.
02
Audit rights exist but are almost never used
Most ACIP and MRG contracts include a right to audit airline performance data. Airport directors universally confirm this right is almost never invoked — because doing so risks damaging the carrier relationship that took years to build. Route IQ provides the independent data cross-reference without putting that relationship at risk.
03
Others can’t productize what Route IQ does
Many companies do bespoke post-implementation studies at $40,000–$150,000 per engagement. They are structurally unable to offer ongoing monitoring subscriptions like us. RouteIQ gives smaller airports leverage in their contracts for a fraction of the cost.
