Could you build this?

Partial The UI and integration of public sources (BTS on-time data, weather APIs, FAA status feeds) are buildable. A credible delay-risk prediction needs a properly trained and validated model, which requires data science expertise.

What it would actually take: Ingest BTS on-time performance data into a warehouse, join it with NOAA weather and FAA ground-delay program feeds, then train a gradient-boosted or similar model with calibrated probabilities and backtesting. Serve predictions via a simple API and frontend. The hard part is feature engineering and honest validation, which takes a data scientist familiar with aviation delay patterns.
