The goal of the project was to create a model that can predict delays in domestic flights departing from Washington DC Metro Area before the actual flight day, using data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics
Producing films is one of the riskiest of businesses. A ‘mega-project’ movie (e.g. Superman Returns) can cost up to $270 million and take years to produce. To justify this investment, the mega-project movie has to make its way to the top 5 of the box office for the year, and generate approximately $300 - $400 million total gross revenue.
The goal of this project was to find the major factors explaining flight delays on route from Washington, DC to Honolulu, Hawaii. The findings of this analysis that are under control of travelers, can then be used to make better decisions on when to travel or avoid traveling, which Washington, DC airport to use and which airline to fly
