Airtur — Flight Disrupted? Know Your Next Move. A Quick Note to the Judges I sincerely apologize for being unable to submit the required demo video. I've been seriously ill for the past few days, and as a solo developer handling everything from development to deployment, my health has made recording difficult. Despite this, I've worked hard to deliver a functional application. I would be grateful if you could evaluate my live project and GitHub repository. The Problem Imagine arriving at the airport only to discover your flight has been delayed for several hours or cancelled. You're left wondering: Should I wait, rebook, or change my plans? Most flight trackers tell travelers what's happening but don't help them decide what to do next. The Solution — Airtur Airtur is an AI-powered flight disruption recovery copilot that helps travelers understand disruptions, explore alternatives, and make informed decisions based on their personal circumstances. How Airtur Works 1. Flight Monitor: Travelers can search for flights using flight numbers and dates. Airtur uses Aviationstack to retrieve reported flight statuses, departure times, and delays. It also includes simulated scenarios for demonstration. 2. AI Copilot: Powered by Meta's Muse Spark AI model, Airtur considers the traveler's flight situation, budget, arrival deadline, and priorities to generate personalized recovery guidance and practical next steps. 3. Recovery Center: Travelers can choose to: - Wait at the airport and receive a personalized waiting plan. - Explore rebooking alternatives. - Replan affected travel arrangements. - Prepare questions and messages for airline assistance. For example, someone experiencing a six-hour delay while traveling with a child can receive a waiting plan tailored to their needs. Technology Stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Aviationstack, Meta Muse Spark AI, and Vercel. Airtur works across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. What Makes Airtur Different? Most flight trackers answer, "What's happening to my flight?" Airtur answers, "What should I do next?" It combines flight information, personal circumstances, and AI-powered recommendations in one application. Airtur doesn't book flights or replace official airline information. It helps travelers understand their options and make informed decisions. My Vision To build Airtur into a reliable AI travel companion that makes unexpected flight disruptions less stressful.
