Blue Skies
Global Nominee
Blue Skies received a Global Nomination.
To comply with security and airline protocol, air travelers should arrive at the airport well in advance of their flight. Without realizing the probability of adverse conditions at the time of the scheduled departure, they may experience inconvenient delays at the airport. Delays can be short and relatively easy to manage, or they can cause long hours of waiting in crowded airports. Flight delays can even cause forced overnight stays at local hotels or inside the terminal. Travelers could benefit from knowing the likelihood of a delay as it could help them prepare for the wait time. Can an app be developed that predicts the impact of weather on airplane departure times?
Using the departure and arrival airport information as well as the flight time, we use weather APIs and airport information to run analysis and determine the likelihood of a flight delay based on weather condition and visibility.
Blue skies conveys expected weather conditions to airports and air travelers which could help prevent inconveniences such as long waits at the airport before flight departure
Blue skies also gives air travelers the opportunity to plan ahead for flight delays and avoid annoying waits at the terminal. Such as taking a 10-minute tour before the flight is clear for takeoff
