The process

How byAir Predict works

01

Monitoring begins

Active analysis starts six hours before the scheduled departure time.

02

Live context is evaluated

byAir reads the operational signals available for your flight, including inbound aircraft, weather, airport congestion, and air traffic restrictions.

03

The baseline is compared

The model evaluates whether its predicted departure materially differs from the latest official estimate.

04

You see the prediction

When a prediction is worth your attention, it appears in Flight Details and may also arrive as a byAir Predict alert.

The data behind the model

Trained on millions of real-world flight data points

Historical examples help the model recognize patterns that can precede a delay across different flight conditions.

On your flight day

More time to adjust

Before leaving home

Plan your airport transport and waiting time with more context.

Business travel

Move a meeting, transfer, or pickup before the disruption reaches your calendar.

Tight connections

Start considering alternatives while there is still time to act.

Family travel

Reduce uncertainty around meals, waiting, and getting everyone to the gate.

Designed for clarity

A prediction, clearly labeled

Predictions are shown with clear boundaries so an estimate is never mistaken for a confirmed schedule change.

Always follow airline and airport instructions.

Separated by design

The byAir estimate and the current official time remain visibly distinct.

Monitoring instead of guessing

When evidence is insufficient, the card stays neutral rather than making a directional claim.

Coverage follows reliable context

Available signals and the level of detail can vary by region and flight.
