People around candidate airports, for new routes
People around candidate airports, for a new route.
What it does
Every quarter: candidate airport cities with the people living around each (ages included), compared by xMap AI as catchments for a new route, written up for route development.
In one sentence: Monthly on the 1st at 08:00, in Mumbai, Delhi and 2 more, count who lives around, work out new fields, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
Why it is useful
A route lives on the people around both ends. This compares catchments before the decision.

The time it saves
Monthly on the 1st at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 180 minutes each time; it runs about 1 time a month, so it saves about 3 hours a month (an estimate). It is easy: 6 blocks.
