This document discusses three insights from analyses of flight delay and cancellation data: 1) An analysis of reasons for flight delays finds that departure delays are the primary cause, though second highest reasons vary by airline. 2) Weather delays vary significantly by state and month, with some states like Texas experiencing high delays nearly year-round. 3) An analysis of cancellation data can help travelers choose flights and airlines with the lowest cancellation rates to avoid disruptions.

overallaswellasairline-wiseanalysis/Dashboard1

From the dashboard, we can conclude that Departure Delay is the reason causing maximum flight
delay. Also, we can apply filter to see Airline-wise data of reasons for delay. Although, the first
reason is departure delay, the second highest contributor to delay changes. For Jet blue airways, it is
arrival delay whereas for Delta airlines, second highest reason for delay is airline delay.

Insight 2: Monthly analysis of Weather delay across all the states

yacrossallthestates/Sheet1

As per the analysis, it is evident delay due to weather condition varies from one state to another. An
analysis of same would help travelers as well as airlines to route and schedule their monthly flights
accordingly to avoid the delay. For example, in January California, Minnesota, Illinois and New York
have maximum weather delays. In February, Texas and California have maximum delays. In March,
Florida has maximum weather delays. In Nine months of year, Texas experiences very high weather
delay.

Insight 3: Cancellation story - Flight cancellation analysis to help travellers choose flights with
least probability of cancellation and to help airlines in improving their service

With the help of this analysis, travelers can make informed decisions while selecting flights and avoid
cancellation of flight. The first sheet gives insights into flight cancellation data wherein we can filter
by state, month or weekdays. The second sheet gives data on which airport has maximum/minimum
number of cancellations on the same parameters chosen in sheet1. Sheet 3 further drills down the
data and finds which airlines have fewer number of cancellations. For example, if a person wants to
travel in January on Monday from New York , insights the buyer will have –

 New York has maximum cancellations among all states in January on Monday
 If he selects bubble showing New York in sheet1, he gets further information that J.F.kennedy
and LaGuardia airports have maximum cancellations and might want to board flight from
Albany or greater Rochester airports that have fewer cancellations
 From sheet 3, he will further know which airlines has minimum cancellation. JetBlue Airways
and American Airlines have highest cancellations while Virgin America, Southwest Airlines,
Spirit Airlines and US Airways have minimum cancellations and can be preferred over those
with higher cancellations.

Note: Although there are several factors which contribute to an individual’s choice of airline or
airport, the above findings are restricted to the analysis of cancellation data in this story.
