Why use this API?

  • Increase bookings with eco-friendly choices - Show CO2 emission data against each flight in a route level query to help customers make the most eco-friendly choice.
  • Improve sustainability branding - Show CO2 emission data against each flight following a flight search. Display an emissions calculator on your website so that visitors can see the carbon emissions for a specific flight.
  • Quantify and manage carbon emissions - Analyse the CO2 emissions from a network of air services to understand their indirect emissions inventory and include in reporting and reduction initiatives.
  • Independently verified emissions data - Our CO2 calculation methodology has been independently audited and verified by Normec Verifavia against ISO 14064-3 and ICAO standards, giving you confidence in the accuracy and credibility of the data you integrate.

LOOP API

 
LOOP API
Secure, permissions-based API only available to airport subscribers to the LOOP platform. Provides the latest aircraft data from your airline partners.
  • Access to aircraft MTOW, configuration, noise values and engine data
  • Seamlessly update your airport operational database, ERP or finance system
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest information which your airline partners have given you permission to access

Our LOOP API allows airport community members to directly integrate data into their invoicing and finance systems for seamless and accurate invoice creation. The LOOP API is only accessible to members of the LOOP airport community and, as with all data flows in LOOP, access is permission based, meaning that airline partners must authorise your access to their data.

Why use this API?

  • Quicker and more accurate aircraft data - Data is available as soon as it’s processed in LOOP, meaning you have the most up-to-date information as soon as possible.
  • Reduce manual processing - LOOP API is the ultimate way to streamline the airline → airport data submission process.
  • Improve invoice accuracy - Improve accuracy by ensuring you have access to the right data - validated against noise certificates - to calculate invoices.
  • Monitor your sustainability targets - Understand noise and local emissions data from your airline partners.
  • Remove the contact book - LOOP provides a single source for aircraft data, removing the need to manage individual contacts.

Flight quoting and cost calculation

Accurate charges data is central to effective flight quoting. With airport tariffs varying by location and changing frequently, accessing reliable cost information quickly is a genuine operational challenge - one that leads directly to delays, pricing errors and lost business.

Aerios, Aerotalon, AWERY, FL3XX, Leon Software, myairops, PDC and World Fuel Services have integrated RDC's AirportCharges and En-route APIs into their platforms, giving their customers direct access to accurate charges within the tools they already use.

Sustainability

Our CO2 API allows partners to integrate RDC emissions data directly into their own platforms and services. Anthesis has used this to complement their existing carbon offsetting solution, enabling them to offer a more complete sustainability package to their clients.

Our data

RDC's unique and proprietary datasets offer our clients insights which few other providers can offer; insights which help them understand the opportunities and risks they face as a business. Our core datasets cover these main areas:

Global coverage

The world's largest dataset of runway, passenger and en-route charges covering more than 3,000 airports, supported by global coverage of government tax data.

Proprietary fuel calculations

Proprietary fuel burn and route operating cost calculation engines, enabling the costs (and CO2 emissions) for any combination of carrier and equipment type on any O&D to be determined.

Worldwide networks

Comprehensive and network-wide fares data for more than 100 of the world's leading carriers, providing a view on future revenue performance.
