The delay index gives travelers a clear indication of the likelihood of disruptions in their travel plans at a glance. The system monitors delays and cancellations at airports worldwide and assigns a “delay index” ranging from 0 (little or no disruption) to 5 (severe disruptions) for each major airport. Users can then easily click through for details on specific flight status and create email and text message alerts to stay informed.
An airport’s flight delay index reflects its current on-time departure performance adjusted for delay severity and cancellations. Delay index scores appear as an overlay on country, regional, continental and global maps so travelers can see current conditions anywhere they expect to travel. Pop up windows appear when specific airports are selected that provide detailed scoring, an indication of the index trend (better or worse), and links to get current status information on individual flight arrivals and departures.
