Overview
- ANA is the first global carrier to fully integrate BlueWX’s AI turbulence prediction into its operational weather data systems as of early August 2025.
- The deep-learning model analyzes a decade of historical turbulence records to generate precise forecasts for flight crews and dispatchers.
- By providing real-time turbulence outlooks, the tool aims to reduce injuries, flight delays and cargo damage tied to the 30–50 percent of incidents attributed to turbulence.
- The technology emerged from a collaboration with Keio University launched in 2019 and was commercialized through the July 2023 founding of BlueWX.
- BlueWX plans to offer the forecasting service to other airlines and is developing additional AI models for wind prediction and carbon-neutral route optimization.
