Stay alert and in the air  

Successful air travel operations require constant awareness of fleet positions and an overall understanding of weather's impact on flight operations, which in turn requires up-to-date weather information on current conditions and accurate forecasting of significant weather events.

The IBM Environmental Intelligence Suite helps airlines improve operations with on-ground, pre-flight and enroute weather data, tracking and decision support, backed by over 40 years of aviation weather forecasting expertise.
