We find edge in commercial aviation
Edge is the difference between what others expect to happen, and what data suggests will happen.
DATA-DRIVEN
Everything we do at Visual Approach starts with data. We combine our cultivated data with over 20 years of industry experience to find insights that matter.
CONTRARIAN BY DESIGN
Much of our work involves meeting with airlines, lessors, manufacturers, and aircraft lessors to understand what is expected. Our analysis is conducted exclusive of these expectations. Much of the time the two align. When they diverge, we identify it as data-driven edge.
VISUAL CONCLUSIONS
We don’t just make contrarian conclusions; we show them. Harnessing data from over 100 sources, including macro-economic, airline schedules, fares, traffic, and fleet, we take a Visual Approach when delivering our conclusions.
