Flight Science

Flight Science (flightscience.ai) markets an operations platform for airlines intended to support safety, reliability, and fuel efficiency across the operations center and the flight deck. Its stated purpose is to generate recommendations that help dispatchers and pilots burn less fuel, avoid turbulence, and improve on-time performance.

The main product, Flight Science dx, combines flight monitoring, communications, and optimization tools for dispatchers in a single interface intended to replace fragmented tools. Monitoring covers weather, flights, airports, airspace, and alerts, with flight tracking and surface tracing via ADS-B and satellite feeds, filtering designed to limit alert fatigue, and weather integration options including NOAA, WAFS, DTN, WSI, and custom APIs. The communications layer includes an in-app ACARS chat panel with flight crew messaging and suggested replies, one-click forwarding of SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, and turbulence alerts, and consolidated airport information such as METARs, TAFs, live RVR, runway configuration, ATC data, arrival demand, charts, crosswind calculations, and IAPs, SIDs and STARs.

The in-flight optimization component builds a "True Cost Index" for each flight from real-time changes in airspace, weather, traffic, airport conditions, on-time performance, and passenger satisfaction, and issues route, altitude, and speed recommendations. Cost inputs cited include airport-specific fuel costs, crew- and airport-specific time costs, enroute wind and temperature changes, tiered delay costs, gate availability, airport curfews, time-based airport fees, overflight fees, and passenger missed connections; crew scheduling is listed as a planned addition for Q1 2027. Recommendations are described as tail-specific, with an aircraft performance model that adapts to individual aircraft thresholds over time.
