Real-time aircraft flight delay prediction

Abstract

Examples are disclosed that related to providing flight-delay estimations of airborne flights in a real-time environment. In one example, an aircraft information message for a current aircraft flight is received. The aircraft information message has a designated format consumable by a machine learning model previously trained to assess delay predictions for aircraft flights. The aircraft information message includes one or more aircraft flight-plan parameters, one or more aircraft surveillance parameters, and one or more weather parameters for the current aircraft flight. The aircraft information message is provided as input to the machine learning model to assess a real-time delay prediction for the current aircraft flight based at least on the one or more flight-plan parameters, the one or more aircraft surveillance parameters, and the one or more weather parameters included in the aircraft information message.
