Two years ago, the owners of a small family-owned aviation business invited Jessica Hahn to come to their presentation at IES. They used some slides that were put together by AV Equipment Valve, another family-owned company. The aviation business operates six aircraft, primarily ultralights, offering exciting and affordable flights for tourists, with one pilot and one passenger in each flight. However, this business highly depends on good visibility and is only operational from March to October. The number of flight hours is dependent on the number of tourists and the visibility. The business charges extra for longer flights and flights at higher altitudes. Since 2009, an insurance division called aerosol optical depth has been measuring how things behave during flights. The visibility and weather conditions greatly impact the number of flight hours and cancellations. Some flights are pre-booked but canceled due to poor visibility. The business experiences cancellations and refunds on already paid flights. The cost of a flight per hour is around $2,000, and there are days when no one books a flight. This heavily affects the business and the economy of the local area, including hotels and other businesses that depend on tourism income. There are other places in Pakistan, India, Nepal, and China where people stay overnight for sunrise views, similar to the purpose of the aviation business. The economic loss due to bad weather affects both the business owners and the local community that relies on tourism. The availability of narrative data and instruments can help in making informed decisions and showcasing the impact of visibility on flight operations. An interactive discussion can further explore these issues and potential solutions.
