*Please note: this webinar is open for registrations from Airlines and Aircraft Operators only*

Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 2nd July 2026) and explore the future of aviation dispatch technology with a demo of the new SkyAviators solution (released in December 2025), from Weathernews Inc. (WNI), and see how AI-assisted decision support, built on 40 years of rigorously validated global weather intelligence, transforms the daily dispatch workflow from reactive monitoring to proactive risk management. During the Webinar, WNI product experts will provide a step-by-step demo of SkyAviators following a typical day for a dispatcher, including managing operations during adverse weather conditions.  You will see how dispatchers begin their day with a clear real-time, color-coded dashboard of global weather risks, allowing them to instantly pinpoint airports and locations that require immediate attention. You will then see how the solution recommends the optimal weather model for those locations, based on the specific operational scenario, answers any complex meteorological questions, and supports dispatch decisions alignedwith the airline’s policies. Next, you will see how dispatch can calculate extra fuel and select alternate airports for each flight by comparing multiple global models, removing guesswork and optimizing efficiency; plus, how the weather overview feature automatically generates briefing materials, ensuring crew and dispatchers share the same real-time operational picture.  Finally, you will see how the system automatically tracks flights en-route, continuously monitoring PIREPs, turbulence, etc., and enables dispatchers to send uplink comms to flight crew to mitigate risks.

The Webinar begins with a look at the challenges facing flight dispatchers and aviation meteorology teams today, with increasing operational complexity as weather volatility, fuel costs, and network efficiency pressures continue to grow. Relying solely on manual processes and individual experience is no longer scalable. Today’s challenge isn’t a lack of weather data—it’s turning that data into timely, consistent operational action. During the Webinar you will discover how the SkyAviators platform cuts through information overload, bridging the gap between raw meteorological data and immediate operational decisions—ultimately leading to safer, more efficient, and highly resilient flight operations.

The Webinar is divided into the following key sections:

1. Industry Challenges & The WNI Philosophy:
   
   The Webinar begins with WNI experts examining the macro forces reshaping flight operations: fuel cost pressures, extreme weather volatility, and the loss of veteran dispatch expertise. You will learn why unvalidated weather data is insufficient for high-stakes decisions, and how WNI’s philosophy of continuously validating forecasts against actual flight outcomes, and rigorously tuning AI models for aviation safety (balancing precision and recall to eliminate critical misses), creates truly actionable intelligence.
   
   
2. SkyAviators Demo 1: Strategic Decision Hub – Global Network Triage:
   
   Next, you will see how dispatchers start their shift not by manually stitching together data, but by viewing an instant, color-coded dashboard of global weather risks. The demo will show the system automatically groups airports by weather impact severity (High Wind Speed, Low Visibility, Low Ceiling, and Thunderstorm, etc.), allowing dispatchers to instantly pinpoint which locations require immediate attention; changing their posture from reactive to proactive.
   
   
3. SkyAviators Demo 2: Airport Intelligence and AI Agent Support:
   
   Next, for high-risk airports, the demo will dive into pinpoint forecasting. You will discover how SkyAviators’ Airport Intelligence recommends the optimal numerical weather model based on the specific operational scenario for that flight, allowing dispatchers to plan with confidence. You will also see the aviation-specialized AI Agent—trained on 40 years of WNI consulting data— is able to instantly answer complex meteorological questions and support dispatch decisions aligned with the airline’s policies.
   
   
4. SkyAviators Demo 3: Model Comparison and Weather Overview:
   
   Next you will how SkyAviators supports dispatchers to confidently calculate extra fuel and select alternate airports by comparing multiple global models side-by-side, giving dispatchers an objective, data-driven basis for their choices. You will see how visualizing the ‘uncertainty’ (spread) in forecast models removes dispatch guesswork and allows for optimum planning and efficiency.  Additionally, the demo will show how the Weather Overview feature automatically generates standardized briefing materials, ensuring crew and dispatchers share the exact same real-time operational picture.
   
   
5. SkyAviators Demo 4: Automated En-Route Hazard Detection & Uplink:
   
   Next, you will see how SkyAviators protects flights already in the air. The demo will show the automated en-route risk function that continuously monitors PIREPs, rapid cumulonimbus (Cb) development, and turbulence threats along planned routes. Watch how the system detects hazards and instantly identifies all affected aircraft, including those currently in or approaching the risk zone, and presents them for immediate dispatcher action. Dispatchers can then execute timely ACARS-based Uplink communications to alert flight crews, with the full uplink transmission history retained on the ground for operational accountability and post-event analysis, mitigating risks before they escalate.
   
   
6. Driving Business Impact & Standardizing Institutional Knowledge:
   
   Finally, WNI will discuss the tangible business impact of adopting AI-driven workflows. You will learn how shifting from manual interpretation to validated decision support directly translates into reduced disruption exposure, fewer unnecessary fuel buffers, and more consistent, high-quality decisions across the entire team, regardless of who is on shift, effectively bridging the knowledge gap left by retiring experts.  Specifically:

• SkyAviators’ 40% reduction in data collection time frees dispatchers to focus on decision-making rather than data-gathering, improving both operational speed and the quality of judgment under pressure.
• Weather Expert Presets and the Weather Overview briefing platform bridge the knowledge gap left by retiring experts, standardizing institutional meteorological knowledge across the organization.
• Every dispatcher, from the most experienced to the newest team member, operates with the same validated, WNI-quality intelligence that powers one of the world’s most trusted aviation weather services.

About the Aircraft IT Webinar Series:

Every 2 weeks the Aircraft IT website hosts a different live Webinar, each Webinar hosted by a different IT Vendor. These sessions represent the perfect opportunity to learn about a software solution in a more informal manner and to quickly gain an in-depth knowledge of all the major systems on the market, all from the comfort of your own office or home with no sales pressure.

The IT vendor provides a live software demonstration/masterclass of their solution and explains how it can benefit airlines, MROs, Operators, OEMs, Leasing Companies. Once logged on, online delegates can ask questions via the interactive sections of the Webinar or simply sit back and watch and listen to the demonstration. There are two sessions during the day, each differently times to accommodate all time zones.

Each Webinar session is recorded, and an On-Demand version is then posted back to the Aircraft IT website a few days after the live session to allow you to view the content again with your colleagues. The library of On-Demand Webinar recordings provides an invaluable reference source of Flight Operations software demonstrations from the World’s leading Flight Operations IT Vendors.
