FLIGHT ARRIVAL DELAY PREDICTIONShabnam AbghariInstructor: Hamidreza Chinaei6th December 2016CKME 136 – Ryerson University
INTRODUCTION Primary Research question
Will a specific U.S. flight arrive at the destination on-time or with delay?
Secondary Research Questions When is the best day of week/time of year to fly to minimize delays? Which carrier suffers more delays? How well does departure delay predict arrival delays?

CONCLUSION Fewer flights are delayed in April, May, June, September, October, November. Flights are less likely to arrive with delay when their departure time is between 20:00 and 05:00. Carriers with the most delayed minutes are AA (American Airlines), WN (Northwest Airline) and MQ (Envoy Air). airports with the most number of on-time flights are Atlanta, Phoenix and Kentucky Orlando, Atlanta, Dallas and Newark are the most congested airports
CONCLUSION In almost 77% of the cases, if there is a departure delay, then there is an arrival delay or if the departure is on-time, there is no arrival delay. Our phi coefficient is 0.53 So we can say departure delay is one of the positive influencing factors on arrival delay. After modeling with 3 methods, SVM is the winning method with 80.20% training accuracy and in 76.45% of the tests, the prediction of aircrafts arriving on-time or with delay, is correctly done. Our prediction accuracy could potentially improve if we include other strong influencing factors such as “weather”.
