Airlines for America (A4A) is a trade organization that represents major U.S. airlines. Is an industry association that advocates on behalf of its members to shape policies and measures promoting a healthy U.S. airline industry.
Airlines for America (A4A), a trade organization representing major U.S. airlines, required a platform to provide real-time operational airline data to media outlets and air carriers. Furthermore, A4A needed to track key performance indicators such as completion rate, cancellations and on-time performance for more than 23,000 flights on a daily basis. The amount of data available was quite large and highly technical. Retrieving the data required tapping into the flight tracking software for every single airline included in the data set, which meant that Joonik had to create multiple interfaces to enable the system to read different and complex data formats. The data had to be pulled, compiled, and analyzed in real-time. In addition, the intended audience had varying degrees of expertise, so the data needed to be presented in a way that conveyed the overall picture while still allowing for in-depth review.
