Airline on-time performance Have you ever been stuck in an airport because your flight was delayed or canceled and wondered if you could have predicted it if you'd had more data? This is your chance to find out.

The results We had a total of nine entries, and turn out at the poster session at the JSM was great, with plenty of people stopping by to find out why their flights were delayed.

The data The data consists of flight arrival and departure details for all commercial flights within the USA, from October 1987 to April 2008. This is a large dataset: there are nearly 120 million records in total and takes up 1.6 gigabytes of space when compressed and 12 gigabytes when uncompressed.

The challenge The aim of the data expo is to provide a graphical summary of important features of the data set. This is intentionally vague in order to allow different entries to focus on different aspects of the data, but here are a few ideas to get you started:

When is the best time of day/day of week/time of year to fly to minimise delays? Do older planes suffer more delays? How does the number of people flying between different locations change over time? How well does weather predict plane delays? Can you detect cascading failures as delays in one airport create delays in others? Are there critical links in the system? You are also welcome to work with interesting subsets: you might want to compare flight patterns before and after 9/11, or between the pair of cities that you fly between most often, or all flights to and from a major airport like Chicago (ORD). Smaller subsets may also help you to match up the data to other interesting datasets.

As new technologies are developed to handle the complexities of the Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen), it is increasingly important to address both current and future safety concerns along with the operational, environmental, and efficiency issues within the National Airspace System (NAS). In recent years, the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) safety offices have been researching ways to utilize the many safety databases maintained by the FAA, such as those involving flight recorders, radar tracks, weather, and many other high-volume sensors, in order to monitor this unique and complex system. Although a number of current technologies do monitor the frequency of known safety risks in the NAS, very few methods currently exist that are capable of analyzing large data repositories with the purpose of discovering new and previously unmonitored safety risks. While monitoring the frequency of known events in the NAS enables mitigation of already identified problems, a more proactive approach of finding unidentified issues still needs to be addressed. This is especially important in the proactive identification of new, emergent safety issues that may result from the planned introduction of advanced NextGen air traffic management technologies and procedures. Development of an automated tool that continuously evaluates the NAS to discover both events exhibiting flight characteristics indicative of safety-related concerns as well as operational anomalies will heighten the awareness of such situations in the aviation community and serve to increase the overall safety of the NAS. This paper discusses the extension of previous anomaly detection work to identify operationally significant flights within the highly complex airspace encompassing the New York area of operations, focusing on the major airports of Newark International (EWR), LaGuardia International (LGA), and John F. Kennedy International (JFK). In addition, flight traffic in the vicinity of Denver International (DEN) airport/airspace is also investigated to evaluate the impact on operations due to variances in seasonal weather and airport elevation. From our previous research, subject matter experts determined that some of the identified anomalies were significant, but could not reach conclusive findings without additional supportive data. To advance this research further, causal examination using domain experts is continued along with the integration of air traffic control (ATC) voice data to shed much needed insight into resolving which flight characteristic(s) may be impacting an aircraft's unusual profile. Once a flight characteristic is identified, it could be included in a list of potential safety precursors. This paper also describes a process that has been developed and implemented to automatically identify and produce daily reports on flights of interest from the previous day.

Motivation

The data in this dataset is derived and cleaned from the full OpenSky dataset to illustrate the development of air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic. It spans all flights seen by the network's more than 2500 members since 1 January 2019. More data has been periodically included in the dataset until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We stopped updating the dataset after December 2022. Previous files have been fixed after a thorough sanity check.

Flight Delay Dataset — 2024

Description

This dataset contains detailed flight performance and delay information for domestic flights in 2024, merged from monthly BTS TranStats files into a single cleaned dataset. It includes over 7 million rows and 35 columns, providing comprehensive information on scheduled and actual flight times, delays, cancellations, diversions, and distances between airports. The dataset is suitable for exploratory data analysis (EDA), machine learning tasks such as delay prediction, time series analysis, and airline/airport performance studies.

Monthly CSV files for January–December 2024 were downloaded from the BTS TranStats On-Time Performance database, and 35 relevant columns were selected. The monthly files were merged into a single dataset using pandas, with cleaning steps including standardizing column names to snake_case (e.g., flight_date, dep_delay), converting flight_date to ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD), converting cancelled and diverted to binary indicators (0/1), and filling missing values in delay-related columns (carrier_delay, weather_delay, nas_delay, security_delay, late_aircraft_delay) with 0, while preserving all other values as in the original data.

Multivariate regression data set from: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10994-016-5546-z : The Airline Ticket Price dataset concerns the prediction of airline ticket prices. The rows are a sequence of time-ordered observations over several days. Each sample in this dataset represents a set of observations from a specific observation date and departure date pair. The input variables for each sample are values that may be useful for prediction of the airline ticket prices for a specific departure date. The target variables in these datasets are the next day (ATP1D) price or minimum price observed over the next 7 days (ATP7D) for 6 target flight preferences: (1) any airline with any number of stops, (2) any airline non-stop only, (3) Delta Airlines, (4) Continental Airlines, (5) Airtrain Airlines, and (6) United Airlines. The input variables include the following types: the number of days between the observation date and the departure date (1 feature), the boolean variables for day-of-the-week of the observation date (7 features), the complete enumeration of the following 4 values: (1) the minimum price, mean price, and number of quotes from (2) all airlines and from each airline quoting more than 50 % of the observation days (3) for non-stop, one-stop, and two-stop flights, (4) for the current day, previous day, and two days previous. The result is a feature set of 411 variables. For specific details on how these datasets are constructed please consult Groves and Gini (2015). The nature of these datasets is heterogeneous with a mixture of several types of variables including boolean variables, prices, and counts.

Dataset was introduced by Toby Seagaran in his book Programming Collective Intelligence.

The columns are: Departure airport code, Arrival airport code , Time of Arrival(24h), Time of Departure(24h), Cost (USD)

Problem Definition

Planning a trip for a group of people from different locations all arriving at the same place is always a challenge, and it makes for an interesting optimization problem. In our situation group members are from all over the country and wish to meet up at a prticular location say New York. They will all arrive on the same day and leave on the same day, and they would like to share transportation to and from the airport. There are dozens of flights per day to New York from any of the family members’ locations, all leaving at different times.

In prospective human exploration of outer space the need to maintain a species over several generations under changed gravity conditions may arise. This paper reports the analysis of the third generation of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster obtained during the 44.5-day space flight (Foton-M4 satellite 2014 Russia) followed by the fourth generation on Earth and the fifth generation under conditions of a 12-day space flight (2014 in the Russian Segment of the ISS). The obtained results show that it is possible to obtain the third-fifth generations of a complex multicellular Earth organism under changed gravity conditions (in the cycle weightlessness - Earth - weightlessness) which preserves fertility and normal development. However there were a number of changes in the expression levels and content of cytoskeletal proteins that are the key components of the spindle apparatus and the contractile ring of cells.

In 2023, the estimated number of scheduled passengers boarded by the global airline industry amounted to approximately *** billion people. This represents a significant increase compared to the previous year since the pandemic started and the positive trend was forecast to continue in 2024, with the scheduled passenger volume reaching just below **** billion travelers. Airline passenger traffic The number of scheduled passengers handled by the global airline industry has increased in all but one of the last decade. Scheduled passengers refer to the number of passengers who have booked a flight with a commercial airline. Excluded are passengers on charter flights, whereby an entire plane is booked by a private group. In 2023, the Asia Pacific region had the highest share of airline passenger traffic, accounting for ********* of the global total.
