Abstract

Flight delay is a very important problem resulting in the wasting of billions of dollars each year. Other researchers have studied this problem using historical records of flights. With the emerging paradigm of Internet of things (IoT), it is now possible to analyze sensors data in real-time. We investigate flight delays using real-time data from the IoT. We crawl IoT data and collect the data from various resources including flights, weather and air quality sensors. Our goal is to improve our understanding of the roots and signs of flight delays in order to be able to classify a given flight based on the features from flights and other data sources. We extend the existing works by adding new data sources and considering new factors in the analysis of flight delay. Through the use of real-time data, our goal is to establish a novel service to predict delays in real-time.
