| Spire Global provides air traffic, maritime and weather data to a wide range of industries, including airfreight, logistics and financial analysis that have become critical during the current COVID-19 outbreak. Important trends are emerging and potential opportunities are available for agile businesses willing to make adjustments during these uncertain conditions. COVID-19 created a dramatic shift in our personal lives, the pandemic recalibrated almost every industry. With a near-halt in passenger flights and a stressed global supply chain, the aviation sector is nearly unrecognizable. We see airlines and cargo operators doing everything possible to adapt, including rapidly switching gears to support the world-wide demand for emergency supplies and essential goods. With such rapid change, data-driven solutions have never been more important. Freight and logistics companies can use data from many sources, including ADS-B air traffic data and weather data, to prepare their businesses for worst-case scenarios and help with crisis management. Similar to how financial trading companies have long recognized that fast and real-time data is key to staying competitive, freight and shipping companies are increasingly realizing that data analytics is key to making their businesses more efficient and future-proof. |
