The key resources of a flight include aircraft, cockpit crew and cabin crew. For purposes of dispatching resources effectively, the three resources may be distributed independently. If the initial flight of a flight plan is delayed due to bad weather or other factors, it may result in the delays of the directly downstream flights that need to await its resources. If the delays continue to spread to the lower downstream flights, it may result in large area delay propagation. In order to predict the propagated delays due to awaiting resources, a flight delay prediction model with consideration of cross-flight plan awaiting resources is presented. The downstream flight delays caused by the delayed upstream flights in the same flight plan and the different flight plans are both taken into account. First of all, business analysis and modeling is provided, then the definitions of variables and algorithms are described, finally, the effectiveness of the model and algorithm is proved through simulation computing.
