💨 Abstract

Flighty is an app that predicts flight delays before airlines do, using machine learning and real-time data. It provides detailed information on gate assignments, departure times, and reasons for delays. The app is popular, with two out of three US flights having a Flighty user on board. It also offers features like sharing flight status with friends and tracking frequently flown aircraft. The rise in such apps is driven by travelers' desire for real-time visibility during disruptions in air travel.
