On-time performance has been the industry's headline metric for forty years. It hides the cost. A 99.5% OTP can sit alongside tens of millions in addressable disruption spend, because the cost doesn't live in the average flight. It lives in the tail — where delays compound, thresholds breach, and one event becomes ten.
Below: three metrics that make the gap visible, and a calculator that runs on your fleet.
OTP and completion factor describe where flights ended up. They can't tell you whether disruption is spreading, whether your recovery spend was worth it, or how close you are to the next cost cliff. These three can.
Is disruption absorbing, or amplifying?
For every minute of root delay, how many minutes of network delay result. Below 1.0× means the operation is absorbing pressure. Above 1.0× means it's amplifying. Tracked in real time.
Was the recovery worth the cost?
For every $1 spent on proactive recovery (ferry, swap, callout), how many dollars in cascade damage was avoided. The first metric to give finance a yield ratio on disruption spend.
How close are we to the next cliff?
Minutes remaining before the next cost escalation: crew duty timeout, passenger misconnect cutoff, SLA breach, compensation threshold. Makes the invisible visible.
Industry calculators give you one blended number per minute of delay. Inside the platform, that number decomposes into the line-item rates that actually run your operation — calibrated to your crew agreements, your compensation rules, your fuel hedges, your hotel contracts. The calculator below runs on industry benchmarks. Onboarding replaces them with yours.
Direct cost per minute
Adjust the three inputs to model your fleet's annual exposure and the addressable pool X360 targets. Rates are sourced from BTS, IATA, and EUROCONTROL industry benchmarks; the addressable share (60%) is the carrier-controllable portion per IATA / DOT OIG 2024.
Conservative savings band. The 10–20% addressable-cost reduction figure is derived from three combined capabilities (earlier intervention, less propagation, faster planning) measured per event in deployment.
Need to see more than numbers on a website? We'll run X360 on your publicly available data and walk you through what we find: your fleet, your routes, in the live platform.
Show meEvery partnership starts with a conversation and grows at your pace. You realize value throughout. No big-bang integration, no commitment cliff: each step produces a measurable result, and each step is a choice point.
Live demo with your OCC team. We show the potential of X360 using publicly available data, and your historical data if you choose to share it. Zero integration required.
Incremental value from day one. Analytics, predictions, and resilience insights grow as we tune to your operation. The cost model gets calibrated to your actual numbers along the way.
Live system integration. Real-time recovery, autonomous recommendations, and a platform that learns your operation event over event. Recovery Yield measured per event.
