Other Aviation Data Sources Only Give You Numbers...
We Give You Analytical Firepower...The Firepower You Need In The New Aviation Environment
Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is the new, reliable resource to analyze a wide range of important data. Traffic and fare data. Airline financial performance, aircraft costs, market shares, and more.
DataMiner is not just another information source. It is a
powerful tool that allows you to identify and isolate key trends in the industry. Shifts in capacity, market share, revenue shares, and much more. DataMiner offers an Airline Analysis Package that allows immediate access and analysis of airline operational and financial performance.
You also have access to current data covering airline schedule, capacity and fleet-application trends, through our affiliation with Innovata, LLC. You can monitor what airlines are planning at specific airports. How they are shifting fleets. What their next planning steps might be. In short: Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ gives you the firepower to meet the future.
Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is the new standard for strategic aviation planning. It's the only source that not only provides data, but allows you to immediately analyze the information right on the screen, with easy-to-read downloadable reports.
Forecast Data Too!
Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is the only source - the only source - that also gives access to year-by-year enplanement forecasts for 146 of the nation's airports, representing over 95% of all passenger traffic. Boyd Group International has been publishing Airports:USAŽ forecasts since 1992, and it the only such data accomplished independently in the private sector. No political agendas and the forecasts are updated for each airport throughout the year to reflect the latest changes in airline schedules and strategies.

Subscribing to Another Data Source?
Why You Should Switch To DataMiner™Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is far more sophisticated, accurate, and easier to use than any other data source. It's a tool designed by aviation professionals for aviation professionals, providing immediate reports that give you the insight you need instantly, instead of arcane numbers derived from raw data sources.
Particularly if you're still subscribing to one of those expensive, printed "quarterly" airport data sources, you'd better be aware that you've got stale information the day it arrives. DataMiner is live and updated constantly. With those printed subscriptions, all you can do is look at the numbers. DataMiner subscribers can immediately analyze the data, putting it to competitive advantage in planning for the future. And, probably for a lot less money, too.
Delivers Data Fast & With Ease. Our interface is intuitive and easy to use.Your time is important. So Airports:USA DataMiner is designed with that in mind. You need data, not complex and confusing report request schemes.
Complete, Formatted Reports. The reports are formatted and include a range of data you can use immediately. This is an important feature of DataMiner - we give a range of metrics right away - you don't need to load it into a spread sheet to waste time finding out what the data mean.
Immediate Data & Strategic Information. DataMiner goes beyond numbers, with the capability of analyzing the future right on your screen. Not arcane spreadsheets that display confused columns of jumbled numbers, but immediate reports providing all the information you need, with headers and key columns you can sort right away on the screen, plus download to a range of other software. That's the analytical firepower you need to plan for the new aviation environment.
It's Integrity-Filtered. The DataMiner software reviews each line of data for accuracy and reasonableness. The way DOT gets the data often has a lot of mis-reported numbers that require aviation professionals to review.
It's Our Professional Work- Not Somebody Else's. Amazingly, some alternative sources of aviation data are simply re-packaged and re-sold as-is from another vendor. Airports:USA DataMiner is better, because we first-source the data. We take the data and put them through the Airports:USA DataMiner Software, which identifies and addresses the "issues" that come with raw data. We carefully review the data for errors and mis-reporting. We make corrections and identify where data may be questionable. Professionals of Boyd Group International are experts in current and emerging airline industry trends.
It Addresses The Real Airline Industry. The Airports:USA DataMiner software relies on a complex algorithm to aggregate traffic to the correct carrier system. Other sources assume the "certificated carrier" is the airline. It's not. Today, most airlines are typically comprised of combinations of "certificated carriers." To report the passengers carried at ATL by, say, Mesa, is inaccurate. Those are passengers of Delta, the airline that is leasing the lift from Mesa. Some other sources either mis-report it as Mesa, or, worse, lazily dump these passengers into separate, unidentified catch-all category. The DataMiner system, on the other hand, properly applies these passengers to the airline system leasing the airplane from the small jet provider.
It Identifies Reporting Errors. It identifies mis-reported data - and there's a lot more of that than most people realize. Raw data, which other sources typically just regurgitate and sell, may show Hawaiian Airlines as an operator at Jackson, Mississippi. Or US Airways as serving Amarillo. DataMiner addresses these issues.
It Addresses The Challenges of The Hub System. DataMiner recognizes the shortfalls in current reporting channels. In many cases, traffic generated by small airports served by small airlines (some code-shared, some not) is not accurately allocated to the proper connecting destinations. As a result, Cheyenne may show close-by Denver as its #1 O&D destination, when in fact there really is almost no such traffic. DataMiner's sophisticated software identifies such cases and makes adjustments.
Sophisticated O&D Reconciliation. The raw DB1B data are not entirely accurate and must be reconciled against other sources to assure accurate destinational distribution at hubsite airports. Some other sources attempt this. Others don't even try. DataMiner is far more sophisticated than any other source. One sign of really sloppy data: any vendor peddling O&D tables from a mid-size or larger airport where all the passenger numbers all end in zero. It's likely they just took the 10% DOT sample data and foisted it off on unwary purchasers, with out any reconciliation.
Kept Up-To-Date. Airports:USAŽ data are kept current. When DOT issues a revision to prior quarters - which is not uncommon - our subscribers have it right away. Other vendors, even some on-line, and particularly those peddling static printed reports, are oblivious to this. And so are their customers.
The staff of Boyd Group International invite you to review the example reports listed above. And don't hesitate to access the complimentary current airport data available at www.AirportSnapshot.com.
Bottom Line: If you're planning for the future, you can't rely on semi-accurate or unreliable data sources. You need Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™. No other source of industry data is as complete, as accurate, or as easy to use.
How DataMiner Gives The Competitive Edge
Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is designed to be customized to the specific subscriber. Financial institutions. Airlines. Airports. Manufacturers. Suppliers. All have varying data needs – and Airports:USAŽ provides them precisely and cost-effectively.
Airlines and financial planners can isolate where revenue production is weak or below cost-hurdle – for all airlines in the market.
Users can access data by market, by airport, by airline, by time frame. The data reports are immediately sortable right on the screen, and can also be downloaded
for further analysis.
Analyze airline financials and operating metrics. Get direct comparisons of costs by category, by fleet type, adjusted by stage length. Want to compare United's A-320 costs with those of US Airways? It's on the screen in seconds with DataMiner.
Want to know the fare trends in the top 25 markets from a given airport? Easy to do with DataMiner. Which airlines are capturing that traffic, and over which connecting hubs? And at what fares? It’s immediately available right on the screen. Which airport in a given region is capturing more traffic to specific destinations? There’s a report that will immediately compare up to four airports, right on the screen.
DataMiner is an essential tool to identify traffic trends and airline service weaknesses. Compare through-yields generated from a specific airport through a specific hub. The relative vulnerability of one airline or another’s service at the airport can be easily identified.
International data is also available. The Boyd Group will assist in obtaining the necessary DOT approvals.
Our experience is what makes DataMiner different, more comprehensive, and more cost-effective. Click on the reports below to get an idea. Of course, there's not room to review all of the data and customizable reports available in DataMiner. But you'll get the idea.

Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ provides an intuitive, easy interface that delivers the information you need quickly and without any need to navigate through arcane entry pages. No other source is as complete, as user-friendly, or as cost-efficient. Take a look:
Airport-Related Data & Analysis Reports
Constantly updated with the latest quarterly filings, this information is available on-line after DataMiner™ software filters out to the maximum extent possible inherent inaccuracies that are natural to sample-derived data. You need accurate information, and that’s what Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ deliversAirport O&D Report Menu
A range of reports can be requested, listing a selected airport's traffic to and from markets across the nation. Includes key data such as average gross fares paid, average fares, net yield, and more.
Request data for one or several markets, or ALL of an airport's O&D markets. You can also just ask for a certain number (for example, the top 25). Request traffic to all three -- or four -- New York airports, or those in the Los Angeles Basin. Do it by as many quarters as you need, too. Reports can be sorted by several parameters on-screen and downloadable as well.
Specific Market O&D
You can request a quick report on O&D between two airports, or between a set of airports. A valuable tool to compare total traffic generated in a region, or to create your own "metro basins." .
Hub Connect Traffic & Revenue Contribution
This is a very powerful analysis report that shows the contribution a given market provides through an airline's hub. Beyond-hub contribution is shown by market and provides the through yield to each major market. Data is provided by carrier and by hub connect point.Compare Airports O&D
Compare up to four airports, showing the O&D traffic for each, for the period you choose. This is an incisive tool to identify airport service deficiencies to key destinations compared to other regional airport competitors.
Metro Basin O&D
DataMiner gives you the ability to identify total O&D between major metro basins, such as NYC and the San Francisco Bay Area. Quickly identify traffic flows between population centers. Remember, too, you can create your own metro basins with the basic O&D reports. And you can further analyze traffic within a basin with the Compare Airports O&D options. With DataMiner, you can quickly triangulate your analyses to get to the data and insights you need..
Airline-Related Data & Analysis ReportsAirports:USAŽ DataMiner™ subscribers have access to the airline side of the traffic and fare equation, too. And there are fast, custom reports that give a wealth of immediate data and analysis.
Airline Share at Airport
Compare up to four airports, showing the O&D traffic for each, for the period you choose. This is an incisive tool to identify airport service deficiencies to key destinations compared to other regional airport competitors. .
Airline-Specific O&D (Including Interline Connections)
Determine an airline system's O&D from a given airport. Reports provide passengers, fares (gross & net) yields, originating percentage, and routing efficiency to each destination. The latter metric can give insight into the total distance a carrier takes to deliver passengers to key destinations - showing competitive advantage or disadvantage with other carriers. This specific report includes passengers carried into or out of the selected airport on the carrier chosen, including those whose journey included an interline connection.
Airline-Specific O&D (On-line Only)
Identical to the above report, except the data include only passengers whose entire journey was on the selected carrier system.Note that DataMiner, unlike other sources, reports data by airline system, not certificated carrier, which is inaccurate. SkyWest, for example is a "certificated carrier" but they do not carry their own passengers, as they are in business of leasing aircraft and crews to major airlines. DataMiner identifies this, and applies SkyWest-reported passengers to the brand that leases their aircraft.
Specific O&D Market By Carrier
A powerful report system, identifying the O&D in specific markets at a given airport, along with the carrier systems involved.
T-100 Reports
All subscribers to the O&D reports, regardless of level, also receive the T-100 report capability. This provides load factors by airport and by certificated operator (note, not the carrier brand) and by aircraft type. Data are provided back to year 2000, by month. T-100 data require a strong knowledge of airline industry structure to interpret. By DataMiner allows you to enter filters to sort out "one-off" reports that can skew the information.
Other Airline-Related Data & Analysis Reports
Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ subscribers have access to the airline side of the traffic and fare equation, too. And there are fast, custom reports that give a wealth of immediate data and analysis.
Schedule & Capacity Analysis
Being able to project future capacity and operations is a critical part of the analysis of the future. In cooperation with Innovata, LLC,Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ offers comprehensive airline schedule and capacity data. It’s updated weekly, which gives a picture of the latest airline strategies – strategies that can and do change frequently. DataMiner allows you to analyze capacity shifts at hubs, at regional airports, and across the nation – by airline and even by aircraft type. The latter can give strong indications of a carrier’s fleet strategies going forward.The Airline Schedule & Capacity Package is also tailored to the subscriber’s specific needs, with four suggested package options. The first is schedules and capacity for a single airport – perfect for a small airport that's only interested in data that affects it directly. The second is a four-airport package, which is great for subscribers who want to keep watch on several airports in a region. The third is the complete domestic schedule, comprising all US airports. The fourth is complete domestic and international schedules
Available to O&D subscribers of any level, Schedule and Capacity data can be provided for a single airport, multiple airports of the client's choice, or all US airports. International schedules are also available.
Airline Financials
The DataMiner™ Airline Financial & Data Analysis Package provides numerous immediate reports on carrier performance. But it also gives you the ability to run analytics adjusted for the cost metrics you enter. Do analyses of future shifts in fuel cost at a given airline. Do it by aircraft type. Or adjusted for stage length. Compare ASM costs between fleet types, and between airline operators. In addition to Form-41 reports, you can sort and compare data within each carrier’s individual context and operational structure. You can review fleet costs, expense areas, and compare shifts and trends within the industry and within each carrier.Planning and forecasting airline performance has never been easier. Of course, DataMiner™ also provides the ability to track historical airline cost trends as well.
Sourced from Form-41 reports, professionals at The Boyd Group carefully review the information for errors, omissions, and differing "interpretations" of categories. Key reports can be accessed, with the ability to sort and compare metrics between airlines. Another DataMiner feature is the ability to do "what-if" analyses of airline performance, based on inputs regarding fuel and other costs.
International Traffic
DataMiner has the option of international O&D traffic reports, with several subscription options - single airport, multiple airports, or all US airports. Subscribers must be US citizens and pre-approval is required from the DOT, a process that The Boyd Group can accomplish for the client.
Knowledge Is Power. DataMiner Delivers ItData includes O&D traffic and fare data going back to year 2000, including domestic and (optional) international traffic. DataMiner subscribers can access immediate reports and begin customized analysis.
Fares, market shares, yields (net and nonstop), routing efficiency, and a host of other information is included in each report. Users can identify hub flows – passengers,
revenue, yields – that identify strength, weakness, and – in this environment – vulnerability of specific hubsite service, or a specific market. From this data, airports and planners can craft programs to enhance and strengthen service. Or identify coming weaknesses in service at competitive airports.
Unlike other sources, Airports:USAŽ DataMiner is not just regurgitated DOT, airline and government information. As aviation planning professionals ourselves, The Boyd Group understands that better, more incisive, and more accurate data is needed. We've put our nearly quarter century of experience in planning, research and consulting into developing Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™.
You Cannot Afford To Be Without DataMiner™
You determine the level of data and financial analysis you neet. And it's cost effective - as low as $200 per month (with an annual subscription) for an airport's O&D, fare, traffic, market share, airline share, and T-100 data. Updated quarterly. And available back to year 2000. No other source offers this level of accuracy, analytical ability, and cost-effectiveness.
All components of DataMiner™ can be subscribed to individually or in whatever combinations you need. Below are suggestions, and indications of just how cost-effective the power of DataMiner really is.
Basic Package. If you’re subscribing to one of those printed “quarterly” traffic data subscriptions, cancel it as soon as possible. DataMiner™ is the better alternative. It
provides more current data, more accurate data, and it’s available and sortable on-line, too. Those expensive, and often inaccurate, “quarterly” printed subscriptions don’t give you Schedule & Capacity Data, updated weekly. This you can include in your subscription and still be spending thousands less.
Also unlike some of those “quarterly” publications, DataMiner™ understands the airline industry. For example, it knows that an airport having flights operated by Pinnacle and Mesaba is not served by “two” airlines, as some of those “quarterly” services mis-report. The traffic is Northwest, one system. And, you’ll note, that even when adding in the optional international traffic option (requires approval from DOT), DataMiner is still thousands of dollars less than these inaccurate printed quarterlies.
Basic Advanced Package. This is the Basic Package, but includes four airports. Four airports’ O&D. Four airport’s Schedule & Capacity Data. Four airports’ international O&D (DOT approval required).
This is a great option for airports or aviation authorities that want to keep an eye on regional airport competitors, or on airports in a metro basin. And, again, this data – for four airports – is still substantially less expensive than many of those printed “quarterly” subscriptions.
Of course, this is just a package suggestion. Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ can be tailored to the subscriber’s specific needs.
Airline & Financial Institution Package. For air carriers and financial institutions that are involved extensive analysis of the airline space, Airports:USAŽ DataMiner™ is the new planning tool that can assist in identifying strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities at specific airlines and within the industry itself.
As outlined, the suggested package includes O&D traffic and fare data for every US airport, full domestic schedule & capacity access, and full airline financial & analytical reports. Note that these packages are only suggestions. Each component is available as a stand-alone.
