CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Collins Aerospace, an RTX business in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is now providing JetBlue with FlightAware Foresight technology, a predictive analytics tool designed to improve airline operations through greater visibility, efficiency, and decision-making.
The tool leverages real-time flight tracking and predictive analytics to alert airlines to delays caused by weather, congestion, or other disruptions. With this information, Collins says operators can make quick adjustments to gates, crews, and schedules to improve on-time performance, preserve passenger connections, and provide proactive updates on flight changes.
"JetBlue is committed to using advanced technology to enhance our operations and better serve our passengers," said Tom Lloyd, JetBlue director of SOC strategy and continuous improvement. "FlightAware Foresight technology offers unparalleled accuracy and actionable insights, enabling us to proactively manage disruptions and deliver a more seamless travel experience."
The technology uses machine learning and billions of data points to identify potential delays early. This allows airlines to maintain operational efficiency while improving the passenger journey.
"Implementing the predictive power of FlightAware Foresight technology enhances JetBlue’s operational efficiency while simultaneously delivering more accurate, timely updates to their passengers," said Nicole White, vice president and general manager of connected aviation at Collins Aerospace.
JetBlue began integrating FlightAware Foresight across its system-wide operations in July.
