flight data for the twist-hackdays

Flight data for ML-prediction challenge at the TWIST2018-Hackdays

This repository contains data of planed and effective flight arrival and departure-times from / to the airport of Zurich for the entire year 2017.

The R-Script data_enrichment.R contains the code used to add the airport coordinates, calculate approximative flight-distances, time-differences between scheduled and effective flight-times as well as information on weather-conditions around the airport provided by meteoswiss. The dataset does not yet contain information on general weather and atmospheric conditions other than those at the local scale.

The RDS-file twist_zrh.RDS contains the resulting R-dataframe. For those relying on other tools than r, a csv-version of the dataset is also available: twist_zrh.csv

metadata.txt contains a detailed description of the variables contained in the file.
