Press Release: PaxUp Integrates ch-aviation Data to Enhance Airport Route Development
KARLSRUHE, Germany and STANSSTAD, Switzerland – May 12, 2026 – PaxUp Aviation Insights GmbH (“PaxUp”) and ch-aviation GmbH (“ch-aviation”) today announce the integration of targeted ch-aviation data into the PaxUp platform, marking another step as PaxUp continues to evolve as a central platform for data-driven route development.
With this integration, PaxUp adds another trusted aviation data source to its platform, strengthening its ability to turn complex market and airline information into clear answers for all involved aviation stakeholders. By combining ch-aviation’s data with PaxUp’s methodology and other complementary datasets, the platform helps customers address key route development questions in a more focused and efficient way.
The addition of ch-aviation’s fleet, aircraft configuration, and airline financial data enhances the analytical context available within PaxUp. Rather than working with standalone datasets in isolation, air service development teams benefit from insights that emerge from the combination of multiple data perspectives, thus supporting more confident decisions and reducing the effort required to evaluate route opportunities.
“Winning new routes increasingly depends on turning complex data into clear, actionable answers,” said Matthias Hunger, Co-Founder and Managing Director of PaxUp. “By integrating ch-aviation’s curated aviation intelligence into PaxUp, we help our customers identify relevant opportunities, build stronger route cases, and engage airlines with clearer, evidence-based arguments.”
“For more than 20 years, ch-aviation has been providing trusted airline intelligence to the global aviation industry,” said Sanja Ples Roginek, Chief Executive Officer of ch-aviation. “Making our data available within PaxUp extends its application into a broader analytical context, supporting industry stakeholders with additional ways to derive value from reliable data.”
The integration underscores PaxUp’s approach of building an evolving platform that brings together leading aviation data sources, methodology, and modern analytical workflows, helping airports and aviation stakeholders unlock new opportunities in an increasingly data-driven market.
