Analysis of Flight Disruption Data to Determine Problem Areas Utilizing
Database Applications
Abstract
Flight delays represent a significant issue to airline profits and
passenger satisfaction. Many factors can lead to a flight being delayed
and/or canceled. The study evaluates flight delays, cancellations, and
incident data with the goal of visualizing which airports, airlines, and
cities, to visualize or states are experiencing the highest number of
flight disruptions relative to others. Databases are commonly used for
data analysis to allow pattern recognition and large data distribution
and organization. The study will mainly serve the purpose of flight data
retrieval, the compilation of data and database design, and finally
output data visualizations.
