Flighty launches new ‘Airport Intelligence’ feature, here’s how it works

Popular flight tracking app Flighty has launched a major new update today, adding a new ‘Airport Intelligence’ feature that’s even available on the web. Here are the details.

Flighty’s Airport Intelligence available inside app and on the web

If you’re a Flighty user, the app has a big update available now. And if you’re not a Flighty user, you can still benefit via the new web dashboard for Airport Intelligence.

Flighty 4.8, available now on the App Store, brings ‘Airport Intelligence’ to the iPhone app. It’s a new way to understand and anticipate potential delays for your flight.

How does it work? Per the app release notes:

We listen for disruptions, extreme weather, traffic jams, low staffing, and everything else. Then we process it with Al and combine our live flight status understanding to create a live explanation of the conditions at every airport worldwide – not just US.

There are a variety of ways that Airport Intelligence is applied throughout the Flighty app, which you’ll find below. But even without the app, anyone can visit flighty.com/airports for the latest status of airports around the world.

Here is the list of new features via Flighty’s App Store release notes:
