Enjoy your delay !

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?

Predicting delays based on weather from destination airport. We used a learning algorithm to train the program in order to predict wether or not the flight will be delayed. The app is also connected to the FAA DB in order to get the status (If a flight is officially delayed, then no need to predict). In case the flight is delayed, the user will be invited to a hotel booking website suggesting nearby hotels.

FAA - Federal Aviation DB
weather.org - For the weather data
Merged the two to get a relevant DB.
