    Meteorology in the air: How weather impacts airlines and air travel

    Meteorology in the air: How weather impacts airlines and air travel

    You can't talk about air travel without talking about weather. That's why all major airlines employ their own team of meteorologists. But what are their specifc responsibilities and how do they help get the planes where they need to be?David Dillahunt, the chief meteorologist at Southwest Airlines, joins the podcast to explain how he and his team support the daily decisions on air traffic — including delays, reroutes, and cancelations. He also discusses what weather concerns airlines the most and why flying first thing in the morning is usually the best decision during the summer. It's an episode you'll definitely want to listen to before (or on!) your next flight.
