What they do
Problem
Travelers lack advance notice about flight delays, making it hard to plan and adjust itineraries.
Solution
FlightCaster uses a patent-pending algorithm to predict the probability of flight delays hours in advance by matching 10 years of historical flight data to real-time conditions.
Who it's for
Air travelers who want early, proactive flight delay predictions.
