Abstract:
|
The aim of this article is to produce a graphical summary of the airline performance data. Our main focus is to show what airline companies delayed more frequently. Due to the shear size of the data set, it was divided into groups for easier handling and analyzing. Software R, Sqlite, and SAS were used for analysis and graphics. Conclusions and recommendations are to be made out of the comparison of the flight performance among airline companies.
