WorldbyFlow for airline network and route planners

A route case is a rival, a city, a market and a rule. WorldbyFlow reads a rival carrier as a dossier, a candidate city as a market, the segment with sourced figures and the slot and bilateral rules with honest status, and grades why a competitor moved, so the case is argued from the record.

Written for Network planning, route development and alliance staff at airlines and airports.·Runs in the Travel domain

Where this fits in your week

Network planning is a running argument about where the aircraft should go next. The scans here structure it: an operator dossier on a rival carrier, a destination read on a candidate city, a travel market read on a segment, a regulatory map of slots and traffic rights, and a graded read on why a rival changed its network or its product.

Lead scan

Operator Dossier

2 credits · in-depth · about 2–4 min

A carrier read whole: network, fleet, strategy, documented moves, reported performance. The competitor file for the route case.

Try it on: a subject you already hold an opinion about, so you can grade the result against what you know.

A working path

From a first run to a result you can hand over

The order matters. The first read gives you the structure; the next ones fill the parts that are hardest to source by hand.

01

Run Operator Dossier on your closest rival

You know their network. Check whether the dossier separates documented moves from reported ones before trusting it on a carrier you know less well.

2 credits
02

Run Destination Scan on the candidate city

Demand and competitors, sourced. The market chapter of the route case.

2 credits
03

Run Why They Did It on a rival's network change

The graded explanations. Whether to follow depends on which one holds.

3 credits
04

Pin the market to your Watchboard

A slot decision, a rival announcement or a bilateral change becomes a watched signal.

Pinning is free; a check costs 2 credits when you ask for one.

What comes back

A result whose claims carry their grades

Sourced, not asserted

Every figure and quote links to where it came from. A claim the scan could not source is marked as such rather than dressed up.

Verified or grounded
Reported or attributed
Contested
Open question

Ready to hand over

Export the reads as PDFs for the route case, or share them as pages the network planning committee can open.
