Our briefings enable any airline staff member to talk to a highly qualified risk communicator whenever they need assistance. Flight dispatchers who need advanced warning to re-route flights in event of an impending tropical storm can consult a Weathernews risk communicator to determine the timing and extent to which that tropical storm will impact a route, hub or alternate airport. ATC coordinators who need to convince the FAA's ATC System Command Center to reduce or eliminate certain Ground Delay Programs can consult a Weathernews risk communicator to determine if or when inclement weather could affect certain airports. Weathernews' briefings can help almost any airline staff member make the daily decisions he or she needs to ensure that the highest levels of safety, efficiency and passenger comfort are met and maintained.

Airline Operations Center (AOC) Briefings: |
| These briefings are presented to an Airlines' Operations Control Center at flight dispatcher shift turnover times to provide the incoming dispatchers an overview of the weather they will be dealing with in their shift. Conducted at regularly scheduled times depending on a client's individual needs, these briefings are delivered via telephone or videoconference and are supported by Weathernews' aviation-specific weather graphics. | |

Special Weather Conferences: |
| When impending weather systems, such as snow or ice storms threaten to impact a portion of an airline's flight routes or major airports, these conferences can be particularly useful. They are provided at the request of the customer, typically the AOC manager-on-duty, who contacts Weathernews to set up a teleconference or videoconference with a Weathernews meteorologist and airline personnel. Any personnel may participate, including representatives from reservations, yield management, airport management and senior-level management. | |
