Abstract: A method is provided for characterizing traffic behavior at an airport. Scheduled and real-time flight information for the airport is obtained and used to determine, over a selected interval of time, flight delay information. The flight delay information is used to characterize an extent of delay for the airport. Various embodiments characterize traffic behavior at a plurality of distinct airports and traffic behavior of a selected airline, both at an airport and at distinct airports.

Abstract: A method and system estimate, in real time, the amount of any delay in departure of an aircraft flight from an airport. Various embodiments include receiving in a first computer process a conditions input that includes at least one member of a set including departure airport conditions, arrival airport conditions, and fleet conditions; and estimating in a second computer process the amount of delay based on the conditions input. User interfaces and data structures are also provided.
