This project implements a flight delay prediction API using Flask. It predicts the likelihood of a flight being delayed based on the day of the week and the airport ID. The API leverages a pre-trained machine learning model to provide predictions.

- Prediction Endpoint: Predicts flight delays based on input parameters.
- CORS Enabled: Allows cross-origin requests for flexibility in frontend integrations.
- Extensible: Easily deployable to platforms like Azure Functions for scalable serverless deployments.
- Python 3.8 or higher
- pip (Python package installer)

Let's build a flight delay prediction api! -
Prediction Endpoint:
GET http://localhost:5000/predict?day_of_week=<DAY_OF_WEEK>&airport_id=<AIRPORT_ID>Parameters:
day_of_week: Integer (0=Monday, 6=Sunday)airport_id: Integer representing the airport identifier
Response:
{ "model_prediction": "Not Delayed", "confidence_percent": 60, "delayed_percent": 40, "sentence": "The flight will not be delayed." }

curl "http://localhost:5000/predict?day_of_week=2&airport_id=15"To deploy this API as an Azure Function:
Follow the Azure Functions Setup Guide to set up your environment. Convert the Flask routes to Azure Function HTTP triggers. Deploy using the Azure CLI:
az functionapp create --resource-group YourResourceGroup --consumption-plan-location YourLocation --runtime python --runtime-version 3.8 --functions-version 3 --name YourFunctionAppName --storage-account YourStorageAccount
func azure functionapp publish YourFunctionAppNameContributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request for any improvements or bug fixes.
