Optimizing Air Travel with Flight Data Analytics
✈️ Inspiration
Flight delays, inefficient routes, and unpredictable factors impact millions of travelers and airlines daily. We aimed to leverage data analytics to uncover insights that enhance air travel efficiency and decision-making.
📊 What It Does
Our project analyzes flight data to predict delays, optimize routes, and improve airline operations. By visualizing trends, we provide actionable insights for both airlines and passengers.
🔧 How We Built It
- Used the Flights dataset to extract key travel patterns.
- Processed and analyzed data using Python (Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn).
- Developed machine learning models using Scikit-learn for predictive analytics.
- Implemented graph-based analysis in NetworkX & ArangoDB to explore connectivity trends.
🚧 Challenges We Faced
- Handling large-scale data and missing values.
- Optimizing machine learning models for better accuracy.
- Converting relational flight data into a graph structure.
🏆 Accomplishments We Are Proud Of
