Is the station you're acquiring really as profitable as the seller says?
Aviation-services M&A diligence is typically run on the seller's spreadsheets, with three months of consultant time to make sense of them. Cohelion runs the same diligence on real data, with predefined master-data templates, weeks, not months, and tells you whether the rumoured profitability is real.
You're buying a station, the numbers are in the seller's format
Every operator has its own definitions for cost, SLA, contract margin, turnaround time. Three months of diligence on those definitions still leaves you guessing. The buy-side question, is this station really as profitable as they say, only gets answered after the deal closes, when it's too late to renegotiate.
How the combination works
The high-level path the data takes to produce the outcome.
Predefined master-data templates map the target's codes (customer, station, cost object) onto a Cohelion-standard hierarchy in days.
A reconstructed bottom-up cost picture of the target's operation, at 400 cost objects per turnaround.
Operational and SLA performance against that cost picture, across the target's stations, on Cohelion-standard metrics.
A buy-side view of the target's real margin, station by station, weeks after kickoff, not months. Re-priceable terms before close.
What changes for the C-suite
One concrete shift per role, what they can do tomorrow that they couldn't do yesterday.
Walks into the deal table with calculated margin, not the seller's allocation.
Identifies the contracts worth keeping, repricing, or exiting, before close.
Plans the post-deal integration on real station-level data, not on diligence summaries.
