Airlines Reporting Corp. provides transaction data
information for about 350 airlines, 3,500 airports and 240 countries.
Pros & Cons: The data is highly detailed. It
covers about 60 percent of worldwide tickets. Many low-cost airlines are not
ARC participants.
Access/Formats: A corporation that has its own Corporate Travel
Department or that meets certain requirements and pays a fee can apply for an
ARC number. It then can receive raw data or access an analytics tool for an
additional fee.
