Planning ahead
OpenRunway is a new service from the Met Office which is a one-stop shop providing all your critical weather information. It alerts you to current and forthcoming weather conditions at your airport, up to five days ahead, so you can plan in advance to avoid delays.
Operational efficiency
OpenRunway has been designed to help you plan to mitigate the effects of the weather on airport staff and resources — minimising unnecessary operational downtime and costs. It provides information on changing weather conditions so you can plan for any disruptions impacting on ground operations, ensuring the safety of aircraft and passengers.
Confident decision-making
With our expertise and accurate information you can be confident in the operational decisions you make saving both costs and delays.
