DATA SCIENCE
IN AVIATION

A deep understanding of the air transport system remains hidden within its data. However, data scientists and domain experts are working together and reaching an unprecedented understanding of system behaviour. A challenging and promising path has opened and new technologies and data intensive applications are being formulated.

Air transport experts can enable this paradigm shift with a set of techniques at their disposal, including data management, data protection, deep analytics, data visualization, as well as supporting data architectures. Applying these techniques to aviation data can potentially provide new insights on paramount aspects like environmental impact, safety or performance efficiency.

We offer an inside look into the knowledge and ideas surrounding these techniques. The scenarios and use cases aim to inspire others and to stimulate joint initiatives to make a larger impact in aviation data knowledge discovery.
