Abstract: An aspect of the present disclosure provides guidance for recovery from disruptions in airline operations. In one embodiment, a disruption data specifying the details of disruptions in airline operations and a corresponding set of tasks performed for recovery for each disruption is maintained. In response to receiving an input data indicating details of a new disruption, an earlier disruption that is closest to the new disruption is identified based on the input data and the disruption data. For example, a statistical distance between the new disruption and each of the maintained disruptions may be computed, with the disruption having the shortest statistical distance being selected as the earlier disruption. The corresponding set of tasks performed for recovery from the earlier disruption is provided as recommendation for recovery from the new disruption.
