Live Airport and Handling Agent Data Coverage
Accuracy
APC’s unrivalled accuracy is made possible through a combination of six elements that make up our “Ring of Accuracy”:
- Airport Pricing Data. The ADS data processing team maintains an ever-growing and renewing dataset of airport charges, covering every pricing metric used without compromise.
- Handling Pricing Data. ADS maintains an ever-growing handling network, hosting pricing on behalf of our ground handling partners for use in APC calculations.
- Operator-Supplied Pricing Data. APC customers can supply their contracted handling pricing for upload, enabling this data to be factored into APC calculations
- Aircraft Data. ADS’s proprietary aircraft type and variant database ensures that APC has the exact aircraft specifications to use when running calculations, ensuring the highest level of accuracy.
- Engine Data. ADS’s proprietary engine database ensures that airport charges related to CO2 and NOx emissions are correctly calculated for all aircraft.
- Operational Data. In addition to pricing data, the ADS data processing team also collects RFFS coverage data as well as operating hours for both airports and handling agents in-house to ensure correct application of out of hours and RFFS upgrade/extension fees in APC.
Delivery Methods
Integrated FMS & Charter Sales Software
Run automated airport and handling calculations through your FMS or charter sales software at no additional cost (API key included with all subscriptions).
If your current solution isn't yet integrated with APC, ask the software provider to integrate with ADS via our simple universal API.
Bespoke API Integration
We also welcome integrations with in-house, self-developed and bespoke charter sales software. Our RESTful API accepts calls in straightforward JSON formats, and we can create bespoke endpoints to meet the needs of individual client software.
API integration support is also available from the in-house ADS development team.
Web-Based User Interface
Our original browser-based user interface for operators with non-integrated (or no) FMS infrastructure. In addition to ad-hoc "safety net" calculations for charter flights, it is also possible for finance departments to run retrospective calculations for invoice reconciliation purposes.
Integrations
APC is integrated with the following third-party FMSs and charter sales softwares:
Travech Pricing Engine
Travech supports aircraft operators in their business operations to help price quotes without the usual complex and time consuming steps to delivering a competitive price to your customers.
Leon Software
APC integrates with the Leon Software Sales Module to automatically replace default airport and handling-related costs on RFQs with actual APC-calculated costs for the specified airport and itinerary, protecting you from loss of trip bookings through over-charging and loss of revenue through under-charging.
