The days of having your flight delayed by fog could soon be over.
Every year, the airline industry loses a collective $13 billion as flights are delayed or cancelled due to foggy conditions.
Pyper Vision is aiming to solve this problem, with new technology that predicts fog and prevents delays.
Founder Emily Blythe told Mike Hosking that they’ve built an initial model that can predict fog more accurately than traditional models, although they it still has a way to go in terms of lifting performance.
She says they’ve teamed up with a team at Attentive Technologies to collect the data sets they need to improve accuracy.
Blythe says it should be making an impact for the public in early 2026.
