Q&A
John Grant
Senior Analyst, OAG
Jetrader caught up with John Grant, senior analyst, OAG, the market leader in aviation
data and analysis, to hear how big data is changing the aviation industry. OAG is a United
Kingdom-based business providing aviation information and analytical services sourced from
its proprietary airline schedules, flight status, fleet, MRO and cargo logistics databases. Read
on to hear what Grant thinks will transform the business in the years to come.
Jetrader: Tell us about OAG and its role
in the aviation analytics industry.
John Grant: Our main focus is around both
airline schedule and flight data information.
We capture about 96 percent of the
world's scheduled flight data information
each day. The granularity of that information varies by geographic market. In
North America, it is extremely accurate and
includes the aircraft tail number and the
gate information for the arrival airport. It's
extremely useful information in beginning
to understand the complexity of data and
the performance of your own business and
competing businesses and airports. Anyone
who is looking at any operational issues or
who wants to understand the relative performance of a particular fleet of aircraft or
a series of aircraft can come to us and get
a data extraction and combine that with
their expertise and knowledge.
JT: Talk about the role of big data in
aviation. What are some of the greatest
areas of potential for aircraft lessors,
manufacturers and airlines?
JG: We have so much data in the aviation
industry that it's almost incomprehensible
to think about all the pieces of data and
analytics that are available at our disposal.
If you consider the passenger perspective,
there are probably 10 people who look to fly
on any particular seat before a reservation is
actually made. The amount of inquires that
are being made into reservation services
every day around the globe is phenomenal,
and the time taken to book is, bizarrely,
increasing year-on-year as we look for more
insight. Each and every one of those searches
is a valuable piece of information because
it tells you the route the person is interested in traveling, when they were thinking
