New Database: Airport Performance Calculator & Other Airport/Aviation Data Resources

Airport Performance Calculator

Travelers this summer are likely to encounter the longest delays and most crowded planes in years. To gauge the misery—and help travelers steer around it—U.S. News has crunched several sets of government data to identify the airports and routes where fliers will feel the most pain. This flight calculator includes data on the 500 most popular domestic routes in the United States. For most of the departure and arrival cities, we’ve tabulated a number of factors that directly affect the kind of experience travelers will have on their journey. We’ve included on-time performance for flights originating at each airport, along with the average “load factor”—the percentage of seats filled on all flights leaving a given airport. We’ve also developed an exclusive Airport Misery Index that measures a combination of delays and crowded planes for 47 large airports and 53 regional airports. (Our rankings are like golf—the lower the number, the better.) And we’ve included the average airfare at each airport, so you can compare the cost of tickets across the nation.

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
