Before vs After
See the transformation from reactive to proactive operations
Why delays become expensive — fast
In high-frequency airline operations, small disruptions compound quickly. Weather shifts, congestion, rotations, and turnaround constraints can trigger cascading delays across the network.
Predict delays early. Act confidently.
With AI-powered prediction, operations teams get actionable insights before delays cascade, enabling proactive decision-making.
AI Delay Prediction Platform
Built by Metosys — We designed a production-grade ML platform that learns from historical operations and live signals to forecast delay probability and expected delay minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
QCan this work without perfect data?
Yes — the system is designed to start with available signals and improve over iterations.
QIs it real-time or batch?
Both. Real-time for immediate decisions, batch for planning and reporting.
QHow do you keep it secure?
IAM-based access, secrets management, and controlled data boundaries.
QCan it explain why a flight is predicted delayed?
Yes — outputs can include top drivers for operational interpretation.
