Aviation market research · Economic analysis
Independent research for a capital-intensive industry.
Sobo Aviation Research applies the tools of economics — demand forecasting, financial analysis, and market study — to aircraft, operators, and the markets they fly.
The firm
A research desk for aviation economics.
Aviation runs on long-dated, capital-heavy decisions — which aircraft, which routes, which markets, at what point in the cycle. Those decisions deserve evidence, not intuition.
Sobo Aviation Research is a single-principal firm built to supply that evidence: demand studies, forecasts, unit economics, and financial models — rigorous, independent, and legible to the people who act on them.
Capabilities
Four ways the firm reads a market.
Market Research
Sizing routes, fleets, and segments. Competitive landscape and demand studies that frame where a market is — and where it is heading.
Demand Forecasting
Time-series and econometric forecasting of traffic, flight volumes, and utilization — SARIMAX and smoothing methods with honest diagnostics.
Economic Analysis
Cost structures, unit economics, and feasibility studies grounded in applied microeconomics — the drivers behind a route or a business case.
Financial Analysis
Discounted-cash-flow and cash-flow modeling, capital-structure and return analysis for aircraft and operators — built to be inspected and trusted.
Research & insights
Notes from the desk.
Working analyses on aviation demand, aircraft economics, and market cycles — published as visual research briefs.
