Weather is the single biggest driver of disruption in aviation – 74% of air traffic delays trace back to inclement weather, U.S. delays cost an estimated $44B in 2023, and a single lightning strike can cost around $12,000 per minute until the ramp reopens. With clear-air turbulence projected to increase two to three times in the coming decades, the cost of staying reactive keeps climbing for airlines, airports, and FBOs alike.
Register to view this On-Demand Webinar (recorded 30th July 2026) and join The Weather Company experts as they demo how the Maverick® platform turns rising weather volatility into confident, proactive decisions across every phase of flight, backed by the world’s most accurate forecaster – trusted by roughly 25,000 flights a day across 350+ aviation clients.
You will see how one modern SaaS (Software as a Service) foundation, powered by the rapid-updating GRAF® high-resolution global model, Forecasts on Demand™, and proprietary AI such as TrACR and Smart NOTAMs, delivers a shared source of truth from the ops center to the ramp to the flight deck. During the Webinar you will be taken on live deep-dive demos of two flagship solutions: Maverick Dispatch™, the next-generation flight-following experience that cuts through alert fatigue and fragmented data with contextual, AI-driven insight; and Maverick Ground Ops™, which delivers high-fidelity lightning alerting and predictive airside intelligence to protect people and throughput for airline ground teams, airports, and FBOs.
Next, you will see how that same intelligence travels from ground to air with a look at Pilotbrief®, the in-cockpit EFB trusted by 80,000 users a day, and Maverick WXAlert™, which delivers critical enroute alerts to the cockpit via ACARS, even when connectivity is limited. Finally, The Weather Company experts will share the benefits of managing weather with one proven partner, preflight to touchdown.
The Webinar is divided into the following key sections:
1. Introduction to The Weather Company Aviation
The Webinar will open with a short introduction to The Weather Company and why the partner airline’s and operator’s choice matters as weather intensifies. You’ll learn what sets The Weather Company foundation apart: recognized by ForecastWatch as the world’s most accurate forecaster – nearly 4 times more likely to be the most accurate than the next closest competitor, and backed by nearly 30 years of aviation forecasting and a global, FAA EWINS-compliant meteorology team. You’ll see how The Weather Company combines operational data with the world’s most accurate weather, applies industry-leading AI and weather science, and delivers tools built specifically for the cross-functional teams critical to operational success: dispatchers, air traffic managers, ground operations, and pilots.
2. The Maverick® platform overview and its benefits
Next, the Webinar will look at the connective tissue that ties the entire suite together – one modern, enterprise-grade SaaS foundation. How do you keep the ops center, the ramp lead, and the flight deck all working from the same source of truth? And how do you cut through alert noise without missing what matters? You’ll see how the Maverick Platform answers both with an overview of the following key features:
3. Maverick Dispatch™ Demo – Next-Gen flight following solution with embedded AI:
Dispatchers sit at the heart of flight operations, yet they’re overwhelmed with data and starved for actionable intelligence, with one design-partner dispatcher observed working across 22 open browser tabs. The Weather Company will show why it’s time for a new dispatch experience, followed by a deep-dive live demo focusing on the following:
4. Maverick Ground Ops™ Demo – Predictive lightning and airside intelligence:
On the ground, every minute of an unnecessary ramp closure cascades missed connections, congested gates, slipped turn times, but close too late, and you put crews at risk during a lightning strike. Built for airlines, airports, and FBOs, Maverick Ground Ops ends that impossible trade-off. You’ll see why the era of reactive operations is over, followed by a deep-dive live demo:
5. From ground to air: Pilotbrief® and Maverick WXAlert™ Overviews – EFB and ACARS cockpit tools:
Weather intelligence pays off fully when it reaches the cockpit. Next you will see how the decisions made with the ops center and at the ramp, follow the flight into the air.
First, a brief look at Pilotbrief – the electronic flight bag (EFB) companion trusted by 80,000 users a day worldwide, which lets crews overlay their flight route with the world’s most accurate weather from surface to FL500, with RPM Turbulence Forecasting powered by GRAF®, centralized turbulence layers and alerts, and AI-summarized Smart NOTAMs, so pilots see, source, and avoid hazards from their seat.
Then a brief look at Maverick WXAlert™, which closes the information gap when it matters most: delivering clear, reliable enroute alerts (EDR, TAPS, PIREPs, SIGMETs, and FPGs) to the cockpit via ACARS, even in low-connectivity scenarios, and, powered by the Maverick condition manager, notifying dispatchers and pilots simultaneously and ahead of SIGMET and FPG amendments.
6. The value of common situational awareness
The Webinar will close by bringing it all together: one proven partner from preflight to touchdown. You’ll see how proven accuracy, trusted scale, and continuous innovation combine across a single integrated Maverick® suite to deliver safer operations, reclaimed network resilience, and confident decisions for every team, from the dispatch desk to the ramp to the flight deck, as weather continues to intensify.
