SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLIGHT ARRIVAL TIME PREDICTION

A system and computer implemented method for predicting a flight arrival time of a given aircraft flight, between an origin airport and a destination airport, of a given aircraft based on a set of features is disclosed. The method comprises determining a predicted time delay of a flight departure time of the given aircraft flight from the origin airport by processing a first plurality of features of the set of features using a first predictive model; determining a predicted time duration of the given aircraft flight from the origin airport to an entry point of a standard terminal arrival route for the destination airport by processing a second plurality of features of the set of features using a second predictive model; and determining a predicted time duration of the given aircraft flight from the entry point of the standard terminal arrival route for the destination airport to landing on a runway of the destination airport by processing a third plurality of features of the set of features using a third predictive model. The method further comprises determining the predicted flight arrival time of the given aircraft flight at the destination airport by adding the predicted time delay of a flight departure time of the given aircraft flight from the origin airport, the predicted time duration of the given aircraft flight from the origin airport to an entry point of a standard terminal arrival route for the destination airport and the predicted time duration of the given aircraft flight from the entry point of the standard terminal arrival route for the destination airport to landing on a runway of the destination airport to a received scheduled departure time of the given aircraft flight from the origin airport.
