Unserved Routes: Discover demand for new direct flights

Unserved Routes: Discover demand for new direct flights

We’ve just launched a very special new feature for Travel Insight Vision, our SaaS data product for route development, route optimisation and travel trend analysis.  

Unserved Routes is unique to Skyscanner, providing a level of insight not available anywhere else on the market. It combines flight schedule data with traveller demand insights to show you where there’s untapped demand for new direct services.  

Most data sources only show what’s already happened: completed bookings, existing route capacity, etc. There are no trusted sources to show unconstrained demand.  

With our data, you can forecast the future and understand true market demand. Look beyond bookings and scheduled capacities to find out where people are searching – for travel next week, next month and up to 12 months into the future.   

Our new tool will help you discover the most popular searched-for routes, so you can take advantage of gaps in the market and plan for long-term growth.
