Skytra Price Indices

Travel buyers and seller can use the Skytra Price Indices as a reliable reference price for:

• Airline revenue hedging
• Travel budget hedging
• Performance benchmarking

Skytra Price Indices are the result of over 3 years of research, analysing petabytes of flight ticket data, including offered, ticketed and flown data. Skytra has worked with the air travel industry directly to ensure each index correlates to airline prices in the region represented by the index. Whilst each airline reports different $/RPK revenues, the critical factor proving the value of the index is an airline's daily movement in relation to the index, not the absolute value. Airline price correlations are typically between 70% and 95%**.

Skytra has is registered as a Benchmark Administrator under the EU Benchmarks Regulation. Skytra Price Indices are classified as non-significant benchmarks under the EU Benchmarks Regulation. Skytra has formed an independent governance committee known as Skytra Index Oversight Committee (“SIOC”).

The SIOC advises Skytra in relation to its indices and provides independent oversight of decisions made by Skytra’s Executive Committee in relation to decisions made in the determination of Skytra benchmarks. The SIOC comprises of market users both from the financial markets and the air travel industry as well as contributors to the Benchmarks and Skytra representatives. SIOC will act in line with Article 5 EU Benchmarks Regulation (BMR).
