PURPOSES.
WHEREAS, the Augusta Aviation Commission is charged with the operation and
maintenance of the Augusta Regional Airport at Bush Field; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) occasionally offers grants
with compressed or expedited deadlines for execution by the Aviation Commission and
the County Commission requiring Special called meetings; and
WHEREAS, in an effort to ensure the prompt acceptance of the grants offered during
the FAA’s 2018 and 2019 Fiscal years, the Aviation Commission has requested that the
Augusta Commission authorize the Mayor with the authority to execute FAA Grants
having expedited deadlines in an amount up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) for
fiscal year 2018 and in an amount not to exceed twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) for
fiscal year 2019; and
WHEREAS, the Augusta Commission believes it to be in its best interest to permit
the Mayor to execute FAA Grants having expedited deadlines.
NOW THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:

A RESOLUTION PERMITTING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE FAA GRANTS HAVING EXPEDITED
DEADLINES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2018 AND 2019
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Request the Augusta Commission approve a resolution permitting
the Mayor to execute Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Grants having expedited deadlines for the Fiscal Year 2018 and
2019 as approved by the Augusta Aviation Commission at their
November 30, 2107 Meeting.
Background:In 2016, the Aviation Commission requested and achieved
approval of the County Commission to allow the Mayor to
execute expedited FAA grants for the 2016/2017 Fiscal year.
Attached is a draft resolution seeking approval by the County
Commission to provide the same authority to the Mayor to
execute grant offers having expedited deadlines from the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA). The authority for fiscal year 2018
and 2019 is in an amount not to exceed twenty million dollars
($20,000,000.00). Please note that the FAA is already in their
Fiscal Year 2018 as of September 1, 2017.
Analysis:Oft times grants are received from the FAA that need to be
expedited within such a short period of time, their is no time to
run them through the process. The grants will still be run through
the process, but this ensures the Airport will not lose the monies
due to the sometimes lengthy process of the system.
Financial Impact:Not to exceed $20,000,000. (90% FAA and 5% GDOT)
Alternatives:Deny request.
Recommendation:Approve request.

Proposal Submitted in Response to Augusta Aviation Commission’s Page 1
Request for On-Line Aviation Statistical Data Software
1 History and Qualifications
Airline Data Inc, formerly Data Base Products, sincerely appreciates the opportunity to submit a proposal in
response to Augusta Aviation Commission’s (AGS) need for aviation data. Airline Data Inc has been in the
business of providing quality data to the airline community for over 30 years and we are considered to be
the “Gold Standard” for supplying quality U.S. commercial airline data. Clients agree that the proprietary
reconciliation process used by Airline Data Inc instills a high level of confidence not found in raw data or
data provided by other vendors. We have been selling quality data, not consulting services, three times as
long as the nearest competitor.
When our founder, Earl Doolin, started the company, it was in response to a need that the Boeing Company
asked him to address. In response to this need, Airline Data Inc was on the cutting edge, delivering access
software to the airline community on CD ROMs. After a few years, the company saw that DVDs were able
to contain vastly more data, even providing the customers with free DVD players.
In 2005, we recognized a desire for the data to be even more portable to customers who were on the road
or who worked from home and did not always have access to their disks. As a result, Airline Data Inc started
development of an online portal where customers could access the data from any computer with internet
access. The current version of our products are the third generation of the software. Our data and software
resides in the cloud on Amazon servers. The system is extremely reliable and has great processing speed.
Our users are only limited by the speed of their own systems.
In 2017, the company was renamed Airline Data Inc to more clearly communicate what we offer and where
our specialty lies. Airline Data Inc builds upon our legacy and continues to be the most convenient source
of airline data with valuable tools that render the most accurate and cost-effective data available.
We’re proud to remain firmly established as the industry’s first airline data provider that has been wholly
owned and operated in the U.S. since our inception, and with decades of airline industry experience, we are
committed to putting our expertise to use for you. We answer only to our customers, not international
stakeholders.
Providing excellent customer service as well as quality data and delivery are our main goals at Airline Data
Inc. Our small but highly trained staff is always available to help clients. We have a long history of helping
customers navigate the data as well as the software. We spend whatever time is necessary with our
customers to help them solve their data questions or walk them through producing the proper report.
Our customer database consists of consultants, government agencies, airports, universities, airlines,
manufacturers, unions, hotel chains, and various other travel-related organizations. Most of these are long-
term customers who recognize the value of our data and our customer service.
Thank you again for this opportunity.

2 Response to the Scope of Services
In response to the Scope of Services issued by the Augusta Aviation Commission, we are pleased to
demonstrate how Airline Data Inc will be able to meet and exceed the needs as outlined.
Every capability presented in this response is fully-inclusive within the respective pricing we’ve offered as
part of this request. There are no add-ons or hidden fees for additional functionality; what you see is what
you get.
3 Make Available an Online Aviation Statistical Data Software
Airline Data Inc is a provider of aviation data submitted by commercial air carriers to the United States
Department of Transportation. For thirty years, Airline Data Inc has been considered the “Gold Standard”
for supplying quality U.S. commercial airline data. Clients agree that the proprietary reconciliation process
used by Airline Data Inc instills a high level of confidence not found in raw data provided by other vendors.
Airline Data Inc can provide a comprehensive online solution that meets the needs of the Augusta Aviation
Commission. Airline Data Inc provides industry-leading software that is available online to query all the data
requested. This solution is known as The Hub. It brings to bear industry-leading technologies that allow
users to access all their critical reporting needs within two clicks. The Hub offers Schedules, T100 flight
segment statistics, O&D analysis, and Form 41 Financials for all the airlines and airports that participate in
the US market, including both domestic and international traffic. We provide O&D and T100 traffic data
starting in 1990. Our Form 41 Financial data provides analysis starting in 1977. Our Schedules History
starts in 2004 (earlier than our competition), and users can query Schedules up to 11 months into the future.
3.1 Schedules
Schedules are available at the daily, weekly, and monthly level. All future schedule reports have the ability
to include all relevant flight detail arrival/departure times, scheduled equipment, seat capacity, and mileage
between city pairs. Unlike some of our competitors, you can access daily schedules for any duration in a
single report – you don’t need to run a report for each individual day you may need.
The ability to query by non-stop and thru flights is a standard function within The Hub, as is querying related
codeshare information.
Our schedules information for future schedules spans from the current day forward through an entire 11
months (approximately 300 days). Our historical schedules begin in January 2004, always giving users 10+
years to query. All our historical schedules offer “domestic to domestic” and “domestic to international”
queries. All our future schedules offer “domestic to domestic”, “domestic to international”, and “international
to international” queries. Historical comparisons are available through the “Period Change” function that
resides in every report on The Hub.
Additional Detail on our Schedules Data in The Hub
Schedules data is updated on a weekly basis, and is offered at the daily level with full details, including
options to roll up the data to the monthly, quarterly, and yearly level (the same functionality provided on
every report in The Hub). All schedules data is presented in the same form as we process it from the major
GDS’s. No adjustments are made to this dataset.
In addition to the standard schedules data, The Hub also offers advanced reporting that reviews Minimum
Connect Time analysis for both scheduled and simulated schedules.

3.2 Department of Transportation (DOT)/BTS Data
The T100 and O&D data are the foundation of The Hub. The T100 and O&D data includes both the domestic
and international traffic. The T100 data is loaded monthly. The O&D data is loaded quarterly.
O&D Products
All O&D products are updated on a quarterly basis, or revised as needed.
O&D Domestic and International Summary Data
O&D Domestic Summary data includes the O&D Survey results of U.S. air travel and
commuter airline data, whether it is code-sharing with a major airline or not. It contains
quarterly data from 1990 through the most currently available quarter.
O&D International Summary data is derived from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s
Origin and Destination Survey. ONLY U.S. carriers that fly to international destinations are
included. Foreign carriers do not report O&D Survey data. The international database is
restricted to those applicants that are granted permission from the USDOT. However, if
you have approval for the international database, your international and domestic data is
available in the same report.
O&D Domestic and International Summary are the most summarized databases and
include only origin, destination, and other high-level passenger metrics. They do not include
the full passenger itinerary. That information, however, is available in a separate Detail Data
section of The Hub, as explained later in this document.
Airline Data Inc performs Improvements, Workarounds, and Enhancements to the O&D
Survey in order to make it more accurate and more comprehensive for use by the analyst.
Improvements to the data and Workarounds by Airline Data Inc
One method incorporates comparing elements of the Form 41 Financial and T100
databases, as well as schedules data, to look for and correct inconsistencies within the
Survey. Errors identified through these processes are corrected and reported to the
USDOT.
For example, there should be a strong correlation between the “Coupons” (i.e. legs of travel)
reported as flown by each Reporting Carrier in the O&D Survey and T100 Market data for
the same carrier in the same market (enplanement point to deplanement point). The “First
Use Rule” does, however, guarantee that there will not be an exact match, especially for
times like Christmas travelers and others that travel over the end of a quarter.
Airline Data Inc always performs a data “normalization” procedure. This will increase or
decrease the passenger counts in each market, thus resulting in a better match of the
Survey data to the more exact data reported during the monthly T100 Market carrier reports.
Airline Data Inc occasionally uses our “normalization” procedures to interpolate a carrier’s
data if a Reporting Carrier’s data is missing or significantly inaccurate. The base data used
for the estimate is usually the data which was reported in the previous quarter by that carrier,
as well as historical data trends in prior quarters.
O&D Fare Data
All of our O&D fare data is derived from the USDOT O&D Survey. The average fare is the
average of all the fares paid between the origin and destination being measured.
For example, Total Revenue/Total Passengers = Average Fare. The fares are published
fares and exclude all taxes and fees.
Airline Data Inc 10/26/2017
Proposal Submitted in Response to Augusta Aviation Commission’s Page 4
Request for On-Line Aviation Statistical Data Software
The fares for each O&D are calculated as follows:
One-way fare: The average fare equals the fare paid.
Round-trip fare: The average fare is 50% of the fare paid.
Multi sector fare: The average fare is pro-rated by calculating the miles/kilometers in the
sector as a percentage of the total itinerary distance and then applying that percentage to
the total fare. Fares are presented in US Dollars. The currency conversion happens
dynamically at the time the ticket is purchased, based on the exchange rate in effect at that
moment.
Enhancement to the data by Airline Data Inc for Non-Reporting Carriers
Non-reporting carriers outnumber the reporting carriers and are very significant in many
O&D Markets. Although there are large amounts of “Small Carrier” data included in the
Survey data due to interlining with a Reporting codesharing partner, their non-interlined
tickets are generally not reported. In order to account for this ‘missing’ travel data, Airline
Data Inc subtracts the amount of the “Small Operating Carrier” data in the Survey from the
data by market (as reported in that carrier’s T100 Market data). We then add this remainder
to the Survey Data. We also estimate a reasonable fare for those missing passengers using
a mileage-based yield curve.
These methods, as well as others developed by Airline Data Inc, Inc. during our 30-year
history, are among the many reasons why our customers refer to us as the “Gold Standard”
in the airline data industry.
An additional source of data included in our O&D are the Unduplicated Commuter
Passengers. "Unduplicated Commuter" data is another way we account for O&D data
which has not already been included in the overall O&D Survey. Below is a description of
how we derive these passenger numbers:
In 2013, approximately 61% of the Small Commuter data was included in the O&D
Survey as filed with the DOT. Their data is represented under the airline code of
their codesharing partner (i.e. Great Lakes as "UA"). Also, small amounts of data
for Small Commuters are included in the O&D Survey due to interlining with
reporting carriers.
During Airline Date Inc’s reconciliation of O&D Survey data to reporting carrier T100
data, we identify coupon segments which are operated by the reporting carrier's
codeshares, including their codesharing Small Commuters.
By accumulating the codesharing and interlining data for each Commuter by
coupon segment, we then subtract these accumulated amounts from each Small
Commuter’s T100 Market data to derive the "Unduplicated Commuter" data.
In order to include the "Unduplicated Commuter" data with Survey data, we also
assign fares to the O&D’s. Since fares are not included in the T100 Market data,
we use a proprietary formula that assigns fares based on distance. The formula is
a yield curve which was calibrated from O&D Survey data for codesharing carriers
operating in short-haul markets. We have subjected the result of the yield curve to
several reasonability tests, and customer feedback over the years (from airline and
airports alike) has validated that the resultant fares are reasonable.
All of these proprietary processes allow Airline Data Inc to “up-gauge” from the 10% DOT
sampling to a more representative 100% estimation.
Airline Data Inc 10/26/2017

O&D Domestic and International Detail Data
O&D Domestic Detail data provides lower-level domestic O&D Survey data, as well as
Domestic Portions of International O&D Journey’s (DPIJ’s). The database contains
itineraries of domestic origins and destinations, including their intermediate connections,
which can be used to discover midpoints between O&D airports. The DPIJ’s can be broken
down into those which are from international points and those which are feeding
international connections. Directional pricing by initiated trips (point-of-sale) can be
analyzed. Frequent flyer markets can be identified and studied, as well. The O&D Detail
product can also be used to analyze the mix of one-ways versus round-trips from the origin
versus round-trips to the destination.
The O&D International Detail data product provides lower-level international O&D Survey
(DB1B) data. The database, like O&D Domestic, contains itineraries of international origins
and destinations, including their U.S. and foreign gateways. This product is the second level
of summary for the data. Data is included from 1990 to the most currently available quarter
for both the Domestic and International databases.
Like the O&D Domestic & International Summary, the Detail data is at a 100% estimation
size.
O&D Reporting in The Hub
Overall, the O&D reporting module in The Hub gives the user access to a wide variety of
reports. Those reports give users access to Summary and Detailed O&D itinerary
information, as well as Airline Data Inc’s own reports that analyze Residents and Visitors,
Leg Breakdowns, and Flows Over a specific airport. Finally, there are several Quick
Reports that give users quick access to specific O&D datasets.
T100 Products
All T100 products are updated on a monthly basis and revised as needed. The T100 data is
available from January 1990 through the most current month available.
T100 Domestic
The T100 Domestic product includes segment and market data for U.S. domestic air
service from carriers’ T-100 Reporting system. Included are enplaned passengers, onboard
passengers, seats available, load factors, equipment types, and other operating statistics,
including freight and mail. The T100 databases are generally the most accurate datasets
provided by the carriers and require fewer adjustments compared to the O&D Survey.
However, any missing or incorrect data we find is reported to the USDOT. Since the
database is update monthly, corrections or new submissions are inserted on a more
frequent basis. T100 Domestic includes data from 1990 to the most currently available
month.
T100 International
The T100 International product includes market and segment data for service to and from
the U.S. operated by domestic and foreign carriers. Data from the carriers’ T-100 reporting
system contains enplaned and onboard passengers, seats available, load factors,
equipment types, and other operating statistics, including freight and mail. T100
International includes data from 1990 through the most recently released data. As with the
Domestic T100, the databases are generally reliable and require very little editing. Unlike
O&D International data, there are no access restrictions for Onboard International. For the
International T100 data, there is a statutory delay of six months before the data is released.
All data from the T100 Domestic product is also included; however, the data is always three
months behind due to the statutory delay.

T100 Reporting in The Hub
Overall, the T100 reporting module in The Hub gives the user quick access to the T100
data. There is a primary T100 Detail report, as well as Quick Reports that give users quick
access to specific T100 datasets.
3.3 Mapping & GUI (Graphing) Functions
The Airline Data Inc product, The Hub, provides the ability to access mapping functions either through an
ad hoc screen (to create your own unique map), as well as map the results of any report that is created
through the system. Users can also generate several different types of graphs from the results of any report
created through the system.
Here are examples of the mapping and graphing functions:
Route Map Your Results:

Request for On-Line Aviation Statistical Data Software
Chart Your Results:
All the maps and charts that are created by The Hub can be saved as camera-ready artwork in PNG, JPG,
or PDF.
3.4 Reference Tables, Auto-Search and Code Lookup
The Hub has a complete set of reference tables that track the airline, aircraft, and airport. 12 reference
metrics are available for airlines, there are 17 metrics for aircraft, and 25 airport-related metrics are available.
All of these metrics are available through a single click “Add More Detail” function in any report. The Tree
functionality is a user-friendly visual interface that allows you to drill down from the top level of an airport or
airline to find the code(s) you might be looking for. The Tree functions the same for airports, airlines, and
equipment.
Throughout The Hub, you have the ability to search for airline, airport, and/or aircraft codes that you may
not know. You will find the Code Lookup available in the Navigation bar throughout your experience, or you
can use the Search Magnifying Glass when it’s presented in the Report Data. You can also quickly look up
codes through our “Code Lookup” function.
The Hub also offers a User List function on both Airports and Carriers. The User List allows you to create
any list of airports or carriers for constant re-use across the entire system. Beyond the User List functionality,
we offer 10 additional pre-made Group options (such as U.S. Census regions) for Airports, four Groups for
Carriers, and three for Aircraft that are commonly used by clients. When using a selection beyond typing in
a code, dropdowns let you to type-and-search for the entry you wish to select. Multiple selections are
available.
4 Training & Support
To the employees of Airline Data Inc, training is an essential component of our products. It is synonymous
with customer service. We are available from 8 a.m. Eastern Time until 6 p.m. Eastern Time. We will tailor
Airline Data Inc 10/26/2017
Proposal Submitted in Response to Augusta Aviation Commission’s Page 8
Request for On-Line Aviation Statistical Data Software
our training to the needs of the staff of the client. One of the best methods is through the use of
GoToMeeting, where the trainee can see Airline Data Inc screens, or Airline Data Inc can see the trainee’s
screen. Sometimes, a simple phone call can resolve issues.
For the initial training, Airline Data Inc personnel would be available to travel to the offices of the trainees
for the users to feel comfortable with the software. As an alternative, Airline Data Inc could host the trainees
in our office in Dallas, Texas if that is preferred by the customer. There is no cost for the training.
5 Access
The databases are all accessed through the company website, www.airlinedata.com and
www. dbphub.com. Each user is assigned a user name and password. Users may change their password
as often as wished. Each user name is associated with an email address. The purpose of the email address
is to alert the database administrator of any issues, such as forgetting the password. The email address is
used, in turn, to contact the user. The email address can be easily changed when a different person is
assigned to the user name.
All our databases reside on the Amazon cloud. This greatly improves our overall reliability, which exceeds
a 99.999% up time. Being backed up in the cloud ensures that our databases can be recovered quickly
from rare, unforeseen failures. The data residing in the cloud ensures you the fastest data retrieval that
your network architecture will support.
6 Data
Data in The Hub is primarily sourced from the US Department of Transportation (US DOT). We perform
numerous edits to the integrity of the data, bringing our 30+ years of industry experience in analyzing and
providing traffic data to our customers.
When we find an error that is fixable, we make a correction before publishing the data. We notify the DOT
(and sometimes the carriers directly) regarding errors that we find so that we can work together in order to
provide the best data possible to the aviation community. Our unique, long-standing relationship with these
entities gives us an ability to stay connected to the DOT and discuss data processing options, issues,
changes, etc. in a timely manner in a way that competitive products may not offer.
We also include our customers in the communication pattern when the data is being held back. The hallmark
of Airline Data Inc is our 30+ years of consistent data quality. Our primary goal is not to be first; our #1 goal
is accuracy. We simply will not release data that we believe to be incomplete or inaccurate, even if
competitive products choose to make said data available slightly earlier.
We cross-validate the Form 41 Financial, the T100 Segment, and T100 Market with the O&D Survey data
in several different ways to find inconsistencies.
We also enhance the Domestic portion of the O&D Survey data by including estimates of fares and
reconciled amounts of unreported passenger data for carriers who are exempt from the O&D Survey
reporting rules. Due to the seasonal skewing effects of the O&D Survey’s “First Use Rule,” as well as minor
amounts of under or over-sampling, we use the carrier’s reported T100 Market data to help bring our
published version of the O&D Survey data to a 100% level (beyond the 10% survey that is reported by the
airlines).
7 Tools
Reports allow for a great degree of flexibility in selecting markets, carriers, time ranges, data items,
summarization or subtotaling, etc. Reports may be saved to include specified criteria. They can then be
duplicated, deleted, or simply changed to a new set of criteria.

The Hub focuses on ease-of-use, providing clear and concise functionality. Our users drive our innovation.
The Hub prides itself on continual improvement and enhancements. When you login, you always see what
is new, and we typically introduce new functionality every month or so. In reality, however, The Hub typically
updates every couple weeks with minor functionality enhancements where full Release Notes are not
necessary.
As soon as you login, you are presented with a 3-market comparison across more than 15 (and growing)
common industry measurements. As the user, you pick the markets and the elements (as well as the colors!)
you want to see on your Dashboard.
Also included in the online portal are various documents that are helpful to the user:
Data Load Status. Each time you login, you have quick access to the date range for the data that
has been loaded. This section will also include data alerts in case there is something you need to
know about a certain subset of the data.
Release Notes. You have access to a synopsis of our last release of The Hub, including a link to
detailed Release Notes explaining any new functionality, changes to existing functionality, and
defect fixes. You can also access a historical listing of all of our Release Notes. Beyond the
Release Notes is a comprehensive Help File that is broken down to explain each section and
function of The Hub in an easy-to-user layout.
Coming Soon. We are proud of our continual improvements to The Hub. Keep up on what you
can expect to see in the next couple releases.
Our simple navigation functionality provides for:
Quick access to all of our reporting modules through a static Navigation Menu.
Jump back and forth between your Active Reports without losing anything you are working on.

Quick Reports
Quick Reports are designed to give you fast access to common data reports. The Quick Reports will require
very little user interaction – typically just an Origin to run the report. The selection of the output is pre-
defined and will simply be provided to you. Where possible, we will also provide you with a cross-reference
to a Metric Template so that you can pull the same elements on your own report and change the output
there if you wish.
Metric Templates
The selection of a Metric Template will quickly put some check marks in the metrics boxes throughout the
report you have selected. You have the option to add some more to your report, or even turn them off if you
don’t want a few that have been pre-populated. In the end, the Metric Templates are designed to save you
some time by placing check marks quickly onto your report.
The Metric Templates are available in the Schedules, T100, and O&D reporting modules. Within each
report, the Metric Templates will be slightly different, as they will pre-populate metrics that are specific to
that report. Some reports only have one Metric Template, some have four or five – it just depends on the
report. The use of a Metric Template is completely optional. You can either access a template or simply
bypass the selection and go directly to adding the metrics to your report.
8 In Conclusion
We stand ready to respond to any question that you may have regarding our proposal. We are also willing
to provide real-time demonstrations via a screen-share and conference call, as well as free access to The
Hub for the Augusta Aviation Commission to use the tool during an additional trial period prior to making a
final decision.

Introduction
Diio Advantages. Diio’s main advantage over other potential providers is that Diio has leveraged
the experience of its staff performing analyses with aviation data themselves into tools that “speak”
to other analysts in the industry. Other providers simply do not have the specialized background
that makes Diio tools the best in the aviation industry.
Specifically, these are the main reasons that Diio tools should appeal to Augusta Aviation
Commission evaluation team:
1. FlightGlobal’s expertise lies wholly in the aviation industry. Because FlightGlobal personnel
were problem solvers at the world’s leading airlines, Diio tools produce output that provides
actionable insight for aviation analysts. Diio tools are meant to assist in reporting and decision-
making, especially with respect to route development initiatives.
2. Diio tools are easy to use over the internet with simple point-and-click interfaces. Diio has
spent years building database query tools so that the end users have almost no learning curve
in understanding how to efficiently access the vital information they need to accomplish their
objectives. Diio tools require little training and support, which results in extremely high levels
of user satisfaction.
3. Diio practices Customer First support. When users do have questions, the airline experience
of Diio staff members allows them to understand the context of what the user is asking. Support
therefore occurs swiftly and gets straight to the point. The importance of this Diio advantage
in creating happy customers cannot be overstated.
4. Diio possesses expertise in database access systems, and can make information available
seamlessly from many data sources, at any time, as often as a user likes, whether they are in
their offices, on the road, or wherever. Diio is also familiar with the latest cutting-edge
database systems, which helps its tools extract data orders of magnitude more quickly than
traditional relational databases.
5. And finally, Diio treats its tools like growing children and its customers like part of the family,
fostering the concept of “Team Diio.” Team Diio means that the company constantly seeks
feedback from its client base on the usability and utility of Diio tools, in an effort to continually
improve them. This feedback loop empowers the members of Team Diio to help make Diio’s
tools meet their evolving needs.

excluding any Maintenance Outage.
d. Availability of Services. Diio will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Diio
Service will be available at least ninety-nine percent (99%) of the time measured monthly, using
the following formula:
Uptime = Unit Hours of Operation minus Service Outages
Unit Hours of Operation
e. Maintenance Outages. Diio will post a notification on the Site for each Maintenance Outage at
least forty- eight (48) hours in advance, whenever practicable of the occurrence of any such
outage. Diio will use commercially reasonable efforts to perform scheduled maintenance
between 8:00 p.m. Friday and 8:00 a.m. Monday, Pacific Time.

issue has been satisfactorily resolved. In addition, Diio will track and correct all reproducible
problems related to the functionality of the Diio Service within two (2) U.S. business days of
receiving a report there.
1.3 Product Specifications addressed in request
The following are the Objectives as listed in Augusta Aviation Commission’s Request.
Each objective is accompanied by a brief description of how Diio’s proposal addresses
that objective.
i. Historical airline schedule data with reference to at least the year 2000.
Schedules data in Diio Mi is available back to 2000 and forward twelve months into the
future.
ii. Future airline schedule data
Schedules data in Diio Mi is available back to 2000 and forward twelve months into the
future.
iii. Detailed carrier/airport level schedule extracts that detail arrival/departure times, scheduled
equipment, seat capacity and mileage between city pairs.
Diio Mi provides worldwide airline schedule data from FlightGlobal Schedules. Diio
updates the schedule data in Diio Mi once per week, on Friday evenings. Specifically, the
new schedules appear at midnight Saturday Greenwich Mean Time. Diio updates its
schedule at this time each week because carriers often publish their schedules with
restrictions stipulating that the updates cannot be released until Saturday.
iv. Schedule data at day, week, month, quarter and year intervals with the ability to build reports
showing historical comparisons.
Diio Mi contains over twenty pre-defined Schedules reports, as well as Dynamic Tables
that allow users to define their own output formats. To address the items called out in the
RFP, these Schedules reports (iii) Identify code-share schedules, (iv) Identify potential
connecting gateways, (vi) Monitor schedules including number of seats, frequency,
aircraft type, and seats per operation. (vii) Provide capacity data for forecasting, and (ix)
Monitor competitive routes and service from global origin markets.
v. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) origination and destination (O&D) data (DB1B)
U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”) Origin and Destination (“O&D”). The U.S.
DOT O&D dataset—also known as “DB1B”—contains traffic and fare data on U.S. carriers, and
is generally considered the bible of market size data in the United States. U.S. DOT O&D is
available quarterly, and historical data goes back to 2000.
vi. U.S. DOT onboard data (T100)
The U.S. DOT T-100 Onboard dataset contains load factors for flight segments touching the
United States. Diio receives monthly updates of U.S. DOT T-100 Onboard data from the
DOT when they release this data. The U.S. DOT T-100 data is available back to 1990, and
the most recent data released by the DOT is for July 2016. International T-100 is delayed
three months by the DOT.
vii. Demographics mapping tool which includes population density, average income, the ability
for Airport personnel to define the range from the selected airport and the option to download
demographic data.
Diio’s catchment and demographic databases contain data from the U.S. Census Bureau and
Stats Canada on the population and economic characteristics of these two nations. The
Catchment Mapper is a tool that allows users to draw maps primarily based on driving times
to a nearby airport. The Catchment Mapper can also show many other demographic statistics
available from the governments. The Demographics Report allows users to download raw
demographics data for the U.S. and Canada directly by postal codes.
viii. Reference data, which includes airport and airline codes, airline equipment types and seat
counts.
In addition to its main datasets, Diio data tools contain the reference data and reports
necessary to make other datasets much more usable. The reference data and reports in Diio
Mi cover Airline and Airport codes, Equipment and Seat Counts by airline and month,
global Alliance memberships, and a Distance calculator.
ix. Dynamic report capabilities that allow AGS personnel to customize needed reports.
Diio’s data tools contain functionality that allows users to make custom groupings for
airlines, airports and metropolitan codes, regions, markets, and equipment types. Diio Mi
also allows users to save reports that they run frequently, and to schedule reports to be
sent to them automatically. These features contribute to making the tool much more user-
friendly, and they allow users to tailor the tool for their particular needs, making its use
more efficient.
x. Product improvements and new features provided at no additional cost.
As mentioned in the Diio Advantages portion of the Introduction, Diio is constantly
making improvement to its products, and these updates come at no cost to the users. Diio
is actually finishing up a multi-year overhaul of the reports in Diio Mi, ripping out the
guts behind the scenes and rebuilding the reports to be better, stronger, and faster. The
changes on the outside are really minimal, but the users see more consistent filter options
for the input side, and more flexibility on the output side, including advanced charting,
graphing, and dash boarding capabilities. Diio has been releasing these “Enhanced”
reports slowly over time. They first appear in βeta test phase alongside the original report,
and when the βeta test completes after a few months, the enhanced reports replace the
original report. In the screenshot in the previous section, three βeta Dynamic Tables are
visible at the bottom of the screen, just under the original versions of those reports.
xi. Product support provided by qualified professionals at no additional cost.
Diio provides fast-acting, friendly, and competent Customer First support for its products.
With a worldwide customer base, Diio is accustomed to fielding client questions and
handling support requests at all hours of the day, every day of the year. One of the unique
aspects of Diio that sets it apart from its competitors is the experience of its customer
support personnel. Diio believes in the importance of its staff members not only to
develop and market data systems, but also to be users of the resulting information.
Experience as a user means that Diio personnel have stood in the shoes of the end users
they support, which dramatically increases the quality of support provided. More detail on
Customer Support from Diio and FG appears in the next section of this proposal.
Diio offers free monthly Training Opportunities and Office Hours over the Internet, using
tools so that trainees can see the trainer’s computer screen and hear the trainer’s voice
remotely. Any users at CLIENT could join these online sessions. Because Diio tools are
intuitive and user-friendly, a quick tour of the product is usually all that new users require
to become burgeoning airline intelligence experts.

1.4 Knowledge of Aviation Intelligence Software
Diio Capabilities. Diio’s aviation data products have changed the game in the aviation data
industry. When Diio’s flagship product debuted as apgDat in 2001, most aviation data
products required use of either an expensive mainframe computer system or periodic
delivery of clumsy data tapes or CDs. Diio set up apgDat to work over the Internet, with
subscribers accessing a website with a username and password. This new delivery method
allowed users to access the data whether they were in the office, at home, or on the road,
whether it was day or night. Additionally, at the time the industry employed pay- per-byte
pricing schemes. Diio priced apgDat more like an all-you-can-eat buffet. The website
contained all the requisite aviation Data In, and the subscribers could choose to pull as much
Intelligence Out as they wished, for one low fee. Diio changed the name of its flagship
product from apgDat to Diio Mi—for Market Intelligence—in 2011. The product name is
pronounced like the letters, “D-O. M-I.”
Diio Partnerships. Diio has partnered with many organizations at the forefront of the
aviation industry, proving the extent to which its knowledge and capabilities are held in
high regard by aviation industry professionals.
One of Diio’s first customers was the Star Alliance—the world’s largest alliance of
international airlines. From the member carriers, Diio takes Data In from various sources,
and processes and transforms the data producing actionable Intelligence Out that the
individual airlines use in their respective planning processes. Diio has created several
customized aviation data tools that allow Star Alliance carriers to work together more
effectively.
In 2005, the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”) selected Diio over other
high-profile information technology firms in an effort to create the airline industry’s first
standardized international
market intelligence product. These products take IATA’s Billing Settlement Plan (“BSP”)
Data In— encompassing over 300-million passenger tickets sold annually worldwide—
returning valuable market Intelligence Out. Since their launch, the resultant Passenger
Intelligence Service (“PaxIS”) and Airport Intelligence Service (“AirportIS”) products have
been a great success for IATA and Diio.
While IATA’s BSP system processes tickets sold throughout most of the globe, in the United
States (“U.S.”) the process is run by the Airline Reporting Corporation (“ARC”), which
is owned by the U.S. airlines. Diio has worked with ARC to build and market additional
aviation data tools based on their ticket settlement data, which is called the Area Settlement
Plan (“ASP”) and is similar in size to the IATA BSP dataset. In fact, ARC was so impressed
with the functionality, usability, and affordability of Diio’s tools, it has decided to abandon
the ARC DataXpert Market Intelligence (“ADXMI”) product that it developed internally in
favor of a new version built by Diio. In early 2011, ARC’s two-dozen existing airline
customers transitioned completely from the original ARC product to the Diio version of
ADXMI.
For its next major initiative, Diio has been working with IATA and ARC in an industry-
leading project involving airline-contributed data called the Direct Data Service (“DDS”).
The scope of the project is for airlines to submit all of their ticket data—whether sold through
a travel agency or directly by the airline—to form a new standard for industry passenger
traffic and revenue data. Diio is responsible for data collection and processing in this project,
as well as providing an industry-leading data tool to perform rapid data extraction and
analysis. Diio is proud to announce that the DDS launch customer started using the data and
tools in late 2012, and many major global carriers have since subscribed. At present, DDS
is only available to airlines, but this new dataset should be available to DMOs at some point
in the future.
In 2016, Diio has again partnered with IATA and ARC to create a product called Global
Agency Pro (“GAP”). Diio developed GAP to replace ARC’s Agency List Pro product. The
new GAP product not only brings in new data covering the entire globe, but it also adds the
intuitive, user-friendly, and dependable interfaces that Diio includes with all its online tools.
The most recent development in Diio’s history occurred this August of 2016, when Diio
announced its acquisition by FlightGlobal. FG also purchased FlightStats at the same time,
after also recently purchasing Diio’s schedule provider Innovata. Innovata is now known as
FlightGlobal Schedules (“FGS”). FG brings to Diio more aviation datasets to include in its
tools, along with the resources of a ten-billion-dollar company to invest in Diio’s products.
Diio is excited to welcome the additional data and resources of FG to improve its products
to further lead industry in aviation intelligence software solutions.

Project Summary
This rehabilitation project includes the update of existing comfort station and associated ADA-
accessibility upgrades within Lake Olmstead Park, a historic urban park located adjacent to the Augusta
Central Business District and within the Augusta Canal National Heritage Area. According to the recently
completed Recreation and Parks Master Plan (August 2016) and accompanying public survey, 64% of
residents who had accessed our park system within the previous year had visited Lake Olmstead, which
was rated as one of the City’s top three most important parks. Projects occurring at Lake Olmstead Park
have the ability to reach a majority of our users and raise expectations for facilities across our park
system. This park serves a diverse range of neighborhoods and user groups, and it is home to two of the
City’s most affordable and most popular public rental facilities, the Julian Smith Casino and the Julian
Smith Barbeque Pit. The existing restroom located adjacent to the BBQ Pit is in need of updates to
modernize the facilities, provide greater serviceability to the BBQ Pit rentals, and bring the facility up to
ADA standards. Additionally, the new comfort station would be connected to the trail, and thereby
provide greater service to the boat ramp and picnic shelter area within the park. The project will be
done in coordination with an ongoing ADA compliance study the City is performing on all of our parks.
As an ADA accessible facility, the comfort station will bring updates to better connect residents of all
ages and abilities with the park amenities and outdoor resources.
The City of Augusta Recreation and Parks Department is seeking funding to construct a 20’x30’ comfort
station, including site work to utilize existing footprint and infrastructure and concrete work to make an
ADA connection to the trail. The total estimated cost of this project is $185,750, and the requested grant
funding amount is $148,600. The remaining 20% of the project cost will be provided from local SPLOST
funding that has already been allocated for park improvements in Lake Olmstead Park. This grant
funding will enable the rehabilitation of this existing park to provide improvements that meet modern
accessibility standards.

ZONING RESTRICTION AGREEMENT
Department:Augusta Regional Airport
Presenter:Herbert Judon
Caption:Request the Augusta Commission approve the zoning restriction
agreement between Augusta Regional Airport and the City of
Augusta, GA as approved by the Augusta Aviation Commission at
their November 30, 2017 meeting.
Background:The Airport Marketing & Business Development Department is in
the process of certifying the Airport Industrial Park as a shovel
ready site with the State of Georgia. It is important to have all the
property zoned for heavy industry. When purchased, the General
Perry Smith Parkway corridor property was never converted from
agricultural zoning to heavy industry. Airport staff submitted the
information and application form to the Planning and
Development Department to have the property rezoned. The
rezoning was approved with the stipulation that uniform design
elements are adopted so each future building is identifiable as part
of the airport campus. An agreement was drafted to incorporate
the uniform design element restriction language.
Analysis:The new zoning will go into effect once the signed Restriction
Agreement is received by the Planning and Development
Department for recording.
Financial Impact:N/A
