SmartSky, the innovative air-to-ground inflight connectivity\nprovider, and AvMet Applications Inc., prediction provider for aviation weather\nimpacts, have announced an agreement that brings AvMet Service offerings to the\nSmartSky Predictive Weather Data Suite delivered via the SmartSky\nSkytelligence\u00ae aviation data exchange. For the first time, airline dispatch,\nFBOs, airports and ground operations will have access to AvMet\u2019s predictive\nWeather Impact Outlook data sets. The predictive weather suite offering is made\npossible through SmartSky\u2019s next-generation ATG network, advanced hardware, and\nenhanced services, which include Skytelligence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
AvMet Applications offers solutions that help to enhance\nflight planning processes with live Forecast\/Observed Weather Impact Outlooks.\nThese predictive services include significant weather impacts for airports, key\narrival and departure terminal airspace, and jet routes. This service is\navailable for any airport in the US as well as selected aerodromes\nglobally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forecasts are updated hourly with the 24-hour predictive\nweather impact scoring continuously ranking the severity of weather impact.\n\u201cKnowing what to expect can help airline operations centers, pilots, crew\nplanning and customer services to better prepare for potential traffic\ndisruptions, thus benefiting airports and related services, travel insurance\nagencies, business travel services, air cargo services, and the flying public,\u201d\nsaid Mark Klopfenstein, President of AvMet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Skytelligence data exchange is a key element of\nSmartSky\u2019s Digital Solutions offerings, which are powered by its patented\ninnovations and tools. The Skytelligence data exchange brings together data\nfrom numerous providers for single-point delivery via APIs, which are then used\nby EFBs or ground-based systems. These combined capabilities make SmartSky a\nkey enabler for aviation\u2019s digital transformation. SmartSky\u2019s Predictive\nWeather Data Suite brings together multiple predictive weather providers to supply\naviation with enhanced situational awareness not available from other sources.\nThe SmartSky ATG network provides the very low latency, high-capacity data\nflow, to and from the plane, that is necessary to enable the connected\naircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAvMet Applications\u2019 weather impact awareness is key to\nkeeping the aviation system surrounding the airport functioning smoothly on the\nground and in the sky,\u201d said Sean Reilly, Vice President of Digital Solutions\nand Air Transport for SmartSky. \u201cThe ability to accurately predict weather\nimpacts on air traffic and, as a result, predict flight delays is vital for the\naviation industry and can be a significant contributor to sustainability,\nsaving fuel costs from inflight delays as well as for takeoffs and landings.\nThrough our partnership with AvMet, SmartSky can help our customers better\nprepare for and avoid potential delays.\u201d \n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
