How will AI help us predict disruption in air travel?

Disruption is one of the main issues facing the air transport industry. We've all experienced or heard about disruption causing delays, often with huge impacts on passengers, cargo and operations throughout the rest of the day. Let me put it into perspective: recent figures show average flight delay times at 51 minutes. Delays could be costing the air transport industry as much as $25 billion a year. IATA figures also show the scale of the problem for airlines and airports alike.
