Success Story – Flight Schedule Monitoring Powered by Data Mining

Boost Flight Schedule Monitoring Using Airlines Data Mining

Client

A Well-known Spanish Airline Company Wanted to Track Flight Schedules Data of Various Aircraft to Empower Their Analytics System.

Challenge

The client was looking to scrape flight schedule data for various aircraft (mining based on the model numbers) from flight tracking websites. They need to include this data in their analytics system as well as derive insights, which would assist them in optimizing their inner flight schedules.

The data was extracted within the frequency of 3 days as well as delivered in the CSV format.
