Operational Efficiency Impact

The Multi-Billion Euro Cost of Fog Disruption

Fog costs the aviation industry €13B annually in operational losses. We're building the first scalable solution to reclaim visibility.

The Challenge:
Traditional Forecasting Fails

  • Reactive rather than proactive
  • Limited by ground-based sensors
  • High error rate in micro-climate prediction
  • Cascading network delays

The Technology Gap

Current airport infrastructure relies on 20th-century meteorological models that cannot account for hyper-local fog formation in real-time. This leaves traffic control with only one option: ground stops.

Efficiency Loss: 42%

Traditional Approach

  • Wait for natural dissipation
  • Divert flights to other hubs
  • Cancel low-priority routes
  • Passenger compensation payouts

Fog-Casting Solution

  • Hyper-local clearing windows
  • Maintain scheduled slots
  • Reduce holding pattern fuel burn
  • Proactive capacity management
