Jim Hetzel , compiling the list is no small feat. The only comparable resource is the monthly report (PDF) that the U.S. Department of Transportation puts out on major domestic carriers, relying uniquely on self-reported data from the biggest carriers in the United States; it doesn't factor in any of those airlines' international flights.
"We stitch data together from 500 different sources,” Hetzel told Bloomberg.
Among those sources are flight-tracking and positional services, airport runway times, radar services, airline records, airport data, and such governing bodies asEurocontrol and the Federal Aviation Administration .
"All of these pieces come in different formats, all with different elements of value, and a lot of times the sources don't agree,” said Hetzel.
"We've built the technology and logic to sort that out and validate information across multiple sources. It's a pretty interesting process,” headded.
"I'm seeing a big improvement in overall performance across the board as the industry becomes more and more competitive. It's a huge win for travelers,” he said.
