Business analysis and modelling of flight delays using artificial intelligence

In the current day, with the growth of technology the number of people travelling by flights has increased. Consistently a significant number of flights are delayed or crossed out because of numerous of reasons. These delays bother travelers. These delays also cost a lot to the aircraft organization. Flight delays negatively affect carriers, air terminals and travelers. There are different methodologies used to manufacture flight delays expectation models from the Data Science point of view. The key resource of a flight includes aircraft, cockpit crew and cabin crew. For purposes of dispatching resources effectively, the three resources may be distributed independently. If the initial flight of a flight plan is delayed due to bad weather or other factors, it may result in the delays of the directly downstream flights that need to await its resources. If the delays continue to spread to the lower downstream flights, it may result in large area delay propagation. The method proposed here introduces and summarizes the initiatives used to address the flight delay prediction problem, according to scope, data and computational methods, giving special attention to an increasing usage of machine learning methods.
