Apex data indicates that airlines operating between Edinburgh and Germany achieve significantly higher point-to-point fares than those in the London system. We have analysed this for Mainline Airlines and Low-Cost Airlines, and the same pattern remains true. Apex provides Edinburgh Airport with a commentary, backed by a significant amount of data, to take to airlines and promote growth opportunities at Edinburgh.
Pavel Halas, Edinburgh Airport’s Route Development Manager, said,
Having historical and forward-looking fare data on virtually every market served at the airport helps us with our route analysis and allows us to stay one step ahead of our competitors. The market intelligence presented here supports our belief that more capacity on German markets and new routes from EDI have the potential to greatly enhance the performance of those airlines serving the UK.
Declan Maguire, RDC's Account Director, said,
The team at Edinburgh make great use of Apex to support their aviation strategy planning and airline discussions; we are delighted to have them as clients
