    Comprehensive Route Development Tools

    From market analysis to airline presentations, our platform provides airports with everything they need to create compelling route cases.

    From Insight to Airline Pitch

    PaxUp supports the entire air service development journey: from identifying market opportunities to creating data-backed proposals for airlines.

    Built to Feel Effortless

    Modern, intuitive, ahead of the curve. PaxUp makes complex analysis accessible, so you can focus on strategy, not software.

    Results You Can Trust

    Confidently present your case with clear, credible insights that stand up to scrutiny and strengthen your conversations with airlines.

    Common Use Cases

    Discover untapped route opportunities

    Tap into detailed O&D data, passenger flows, booking trends, and MIDT insights to reveal hidden demand. Spot high-potential routes based on real traveler behavior and market gaps your airport is perfectly positioned to fill.

    Build compelling route cases for airlines

    Create data-driven proposals that airlines simply can't ignore. Benchmark against successful routes in comparable markets and project realistic passenger volumes to clearly demonstrate the commercial viability of new or enhanced services at your airport.

    Optimize flight schedules for stronger connectivity

    Uncover optimal connection windows by studying hub traffic patterns and airline networks. Recommend schedule times that boost passenger feed, support airline strategies, and elevate the overall connectivity of your airport.

    Capture leakage and grow your passenger base

    When direct services are limited, travelers frequently choose alternative airports in the region. Quantify how many leakage passengers can be recaptured from which parts of your catchment area to define the true potential for new non-stop routes.
