Forecast every aspect of your operations

Unlike traditional forecasting, Better Forecast provides a unified, multi-metric approach, covering everything from passengers, baggage flows, transfer data, and hold systems on a per-flight basis – everything your airport gathers data on, we can forecast.

With accurate forecasts, airports can begin to combat capacity constraints by transitioning towards demand-based operations, optimizing resources in response to actual passenger and baggage flows.

Webinar: Forecasting of Timestamps

Many airports rely on generic estimates and static buffers for flight arrivals and departures, but even small timing inaccuracies can lead to inefficient planning and wasted resources. By more accurately predicting timestamps—like taxi-in, on-block, off-block, and taxi-out—airports can plan more precisely, react faster, and operate more efficiently.

Watch our webinar as Tor Fog Justesen, Chief Product Officer at Copenhagen Optimization, shares how AI-driven forecasting and intelligent buffers help airports optimize their operations to:

Improve taxi and off-block time predictions
Enable smarter baggage, border, and stand/gate planning
Plan turnarounds and decrease last-minute reallocations
