Most vulnerable airports in the US given their relevance in the network and their delay performance.

Delays in USA domestic flights (1987-2008)

(Playing with [RITA data.] (http://stat-computing.org/dataexpo/2009/the-data.html) )

Created a "vulnerability" index, ranking airports in terms of their importance in the domestic flights network (number of conections) and their average arrival and departure delays.

• Exploratory-nb.ipynb is where the Python coding happened.

• [Departure vulnerability] (https://saf537.carto.com/viz/2a0577d0-59ce-11e6-8dc3-0ecd1babdde5/public_map)

• [Arrival vulnerability] (https://saf537.carto.com/viz/1262203c-59cf-11e6-80b2-0e233c30368f/public_map)

• Also showed that, on average (comparing the same trips), the scheduled length of trips has increased, whereas the on-time performance has not improved significantly.
