Abstract: Abstract Flight delays are quite common; however, their causes are quite complicated. Weather, airport scheduling, airline differences, etc. all can impact the on-time performance. In this paper, we analyzed changes of the delay rate with FFT model, and pointed out the influence of time factor for flight delays. In this way, we can use the model to predict the delay rate of each period with a high precision, and provide the information to the passengers.
