In today’s fast-paced aviation industry, weather data isn’t just another box to tick — it’s a critical component of operational success. Yet, many of the data providers for airlines think of weather as a commodity. If you’re wondering whether your current weather data is the best it can be and truly serving your needs, it may be time to take a closer look.
Sure, your teams likely have access to adequate weather information in their existing workflows, but ask yourself: Do they have advanced modeling capabilities at their fingertips? Is there a team of certified experts ready to guide them through complex weather scenarios? If not, your team might be missing out on crucial insights that could enhance safety, boost efficiency, and help you navigate adverse weather conditions with added confidence.
The world’s most accurate forecaster
At The Weather Company, we’ve seen firsthand how treating weather data as a mere formality can lead to costly inefficiencies down the road. And in fact, as the world’s most accurate forecaster,1 we’ve been empowering airlines to effectively manage weather’s impacts, ensuring not just safety and compliance, but supporting superior operational outcomes.
What sets The Weather Company apart is our unique blend of cutting-edge technology and human expertise. We pair the industry’s best forecast models, science, and AI technology with what we call “human-over-the-loop” — our expert meteorologists who add value and drive accuracy at scale. This combination allows us to provide unparalleled weather insights that translate directly into better decision-making for airlines.
Our approach is built on a solid foundation:
1. Multi-model ensemble forecasting
Rather than relying on a singular model or approach, The Weather Company leverages AI to synthesize and optimize multiple methods suited to specific forecast elements, seamlessly integrating them to create proprietary modeling systems like the Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (GRAF). GRAF is a physics-based, high-precision, rapidly updating global weather modeling system that can predict phenomena as small as a thunderstorm and as significant as turbulence virtually anywhere on the planet.
2. Forecast on Demand (FOD)
Creating forecasts on demand, meaning they are designed for the end user at the exact moment they are requested, The Weather Company provides the freshest and most recent information possible — no other provider offers this level of personalization.
3. Aviation expert meteorologists guiding our human-over-the-loop (HOTL) system
The Weather Company meteorologists work in parallel with forecasting models and AI technology. This unique collaboration of humans and machines enables speed to market, resulting in the best end-user experience and freeing people to focus on adding value and context rather than serving as information gatekeepers.
Standing on this foundation of an AI-optimized blend of the industry’s most accurate forecast models and timely data, as well as our proprietary HOTL technology, are solutions like Weather Forecast Services — trusted aviation weather forecast services for operational decision support. These tools enable airlines to make proactive decisions, helping you avoid weather-related challenges such as turbulence, volcanic ash, and convective weather. They even assist in planning for deicing operations, ensuring you’re staying one step ahead of colder conditions.
We’re proud to say no other weather provider can match our level of accuracy and expertise, and likewise, we can prove our superiority with specific data examples of what drives our advantage. It’s this transparency and reliability that have earned us the trust of multiple customers in the aviation industry.
So, is your weather data good enough?
If you’re not leveraging the power of The Weather Company’s advanced forecasting and analysis, the answer could be no. But, our experts are here to help take your weather-based decision-making to even greater heights. In the world of aviation, better accuracy doesn’t just mean better decisions — it means safer, more efficient, and more successful operations.
If you’re ready to experience the difference that truly superior weather data can make, let’s talk about how The Weather Company can elevate your airline’s performance today.
