FlightCaster
Ever wondered why your airline shows your next flight leaving on time even though as you peer out from the airport window there is no aircraft at your gate? FlightCaster is web and mobile service that predicts potential flight delays. It aggregates and analyzes flight statistics over the past 10 years and then matches this to real-time conditions, such as weather and status of inbound aircraft. Travelers can sign up to receive alters to various devices and mobile apps. While using historical data for predictive purposes is not entirely sound, this is combination with real-time data does improve the level of alerts currently provides through the airlines themselves.
