Ironwood Correct, accurate and in time
Commercial airports count every passenger and plan on it. Most regional airports cannot.
The record of a regional airport lives in a radio log, a fuel slip, a spreadsheet and an invoice. Each holds a piece, and the picture arrives at month end, if at all. Yet the traffic is real, and it is bigger than most people assume.
What one airport’s record showed
Same asset value.
The airline fleet serves a few major hubs.
The GA fleet serves an entire country.
What every airport manager wants
Easier days, more budget, time back.
Easier
Make my life easier
One record instead of three. No month-end reconciling of files, spreadsheet and invoice.
Budget
Help me get more budget
The people your airport moves and the trend, where they come from, and what the traffic is worth: the evidence behind your next budget request.
Time
Give me time back
Movements captured once, invoices out the same day, the statistics built for you, not typed up.
How it works
Point us at your data. Ten days. Three things back.
Nothing to replace
Point us at your data
Files, spreadsheets, tower logs and invoices: whatever your airport already keeps. Nothing is switched off and nothing changes on day one.
Fixed price
Ten days
A fixed price, agreed before we start. How deep the insights go depends on your data, and we tell you what we see in it first.
Yours to keep
Three things back
Your data organised in your own warehouse. What it shows. The road ahead: what to capture, in what order, and what it costs.
| Days | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 to 2 | Collect and map: what you have, and how clean it is. |
| 3 to 6 | Load and organise it into your own warehouse. |
| 7 to 8 | Analyse: traffic, people, trends, revenue and value. |
| 9 | The road ahead, written for your airport. |
| 10 | The findings presented to you and, ideally, whoever holds your budget. |
What you see
Insights you did not know you had.
- The people your airport moves, by month and year, and the trend.
- Where your traffic comes from and where it goes next.
- What your traffic is worth: the asset value of the aircraft that use your airport.
- Revenue that slipped between the files and the invoice.
- Who your regulars are, how often they come, and your busiest days and hours.
- What your airport carries for the region: training, medevac, firefighting, charter and tourism.
- The evidence for your next budget, in the terms a council or a board understands.
- Your readiness for what is coming: electric aircraft, air taxis and drones.
For regions and airport groups
Ground Truth for many airports at once
One engagement for a province, an association or a group. Each airport gets its own picture; the region sees the patterns across them, by consent, never one airport’s figures beside another’s.
Your data stays yours
Owned by you, kept in your country
You own your data. We organise it for you. Nothing leaves your own record except by your consent, and then only as patterns, never as your figures. Hosted in your region, under your country’s privacy law.
Ten days shows you what your data already knows. The platform keeps it correct, accurate and in time, every day after.
When you are ready, the record moves from month end to the moment each aircraft lands, on the Ironwood Aero platform, and your warehouse keeps growing.
