Adding neural networks to the flight prediction model
If you saw my previous post, you may have noticed that I chose to use a regression to build the model for a flight prediction model. But regressions, of course, are inherently limited by predicting
Building a nonstop flight prediction model
Over the past few weeks, I've been working on one of my most ambitious projects to date: buillding a model that predicts how many people might fly on any given nonstop route and then visualizing it in an interesting way.
What markets should a hypothetical new low-cost carrier target?

So I decided to do a bit of research to figure out where the most underserved and/or overpriced markets in the continental U.S. are usi
The Story Behind the COVID-19 Vaccination Dashboard
Now that my semester has wrapped up, I've found myself with quite a bit of time to work on some projects, and recently I've taken on a fairly big one (that for once is not plane-related!). Last week, I started looking for data on COVID vaccinations, bu
West Coast Routes from PVD (and why the A220 is a big deal)
As I mentioned in my last post, while Rhode Island business and commerce leaders (prominently including Hasbro's CEO) have called for nonstop routes from PVD to West Coast destinations, particularly LAX and SFO, for years, they haven't yet materialized -
Nonstop Routes From PVD: What's Missing?
For years, state leaders and business executives in Rhode Island have called on airlines to offer nonstop service from PVD to new destinations, particularly on the West Coast. But as of September 2020, no airline has introduced
Welcome!
Hi, and thanks so much for visiting my site. In the coming weeks and months, I plan to start writing and publishing some analyses of airline network strategy in the U.S.
