Problem the AI is intended to solve
AI-based voice recognition of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilot communications associated with a flight is required for enhanced and accurate delay reporting and attribution. Many delay events, such as vectoring, are not currently reported/detected/acc

System outputs
The output of the AI system is data that captures a delay and the associated cause. This will be combined with other data sources to provide a more accurate representation of a flight.
