Takeoff

Aeronautics

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?

Explanation

Takeoff is a mobile and web app that uses real time data from current weather forecasts of a particular location - to predict its impact on airplane departure times.

It’s also really simple to use. After entering the location of your arrival and departure in the text boxes provided - with a click of a button, an intuitive 1-step process will display your flight message, be it delayed or not.

For further convenience, Takeoff has also been built for iOS and Android platforms so that you are indeed prepared at all times for a possible flight delay.

Whether you're on the road or sitting at home, you will always know when its clear for TAKEOFF!
