Tune

Tune MCT policy using observed transfer performance by hub/terminal.

We return a miss connection probability (0–100%) plus the top drivers behind the score — not a black box.

How it works (Steps)

Inputs — hub (IATA), arrival flight, departure flight.
Engine — combines schedule buffer, carrier/airport reliability, deplane time variance, walk/transfer times, typical immigration/security and baggage pick-up/recheck logic by connection type.
Output — miss connection risk, average need time and available time.

Why this beats static MCT

Try the API

Enter 2 connecting flights at the same hub. And mark if you are a local citizen (i.e. same country) as the hub. Demo limited to 5 requests per minute per browser.

Use cases

Airlines/alliances: IRROPs triage; protected connection logic; seat/gate prioritization.
OTAs/metasearch: Sort by reliability; nudge to safer buffers; dynamic guarantees.
Airports: Calibrate MCT; plan signage & shuttles; inform passenger comms.
Insurers/cards: Underwrite trip interruption; proactive assistance triggers.

Trust, coverage & performance

Data sources: Live operational signals + historical performance + typical gate transfers.
Latency: P50 ~200 ms (target); versioned models with changelog.
Throttling: Token-bucket RPM with 5-minute refill (see avg/burst in pricing)
Privacy: No PII required. HTTPS only. Keys scoped per environment.
Security: Key‑based auth, optional IP allowlist. Audit logs by request_id.
Reliability: 99.9% target; idempotent retries recommended for 5xx/timeout.

No hidden costs. No surprises.

Unit rules: 1 historical call = 1 unit. 1 live call = 4 units (Pro & Enterprise Only).

FAQ

Hub, arrival flight, departure flight, and local citizen.
Probability of misconnection (0-100%).
Live signals are polled every 15 minutes. Historical data stores 4 weeks rolling.
Each historical call consumes 1 unit; each live call consumes 4 units. Your monthly allowance is a single pool you can mix. (Pro & Enterprise Only)
We use a token-bucket over 5 minutes so you get a safe average rate and room to burst temporarily.
Where available, responses include fuller context and details (e.g., all components, approximate values in minutes). Starter is redacted; Core unredacts historical; Enterprise unredacts live.
Yes—use overage at the listed per‑1k unit rate. Enterprise can pre‑commit for deeper discounts.
We log minimal request metadata for debugging and rate limiting. No PII is required or stored by default
