Flight delays have significant implications on airline efficiency and customer satisfaction. Existing prediction models often struggle with accuracy due to the complexity, volume, and noisiness of flight-related data. This study proposes an advanced predictive model using Deep Learning (DL), specifically a Stacked Denoising Autoencoder combined with the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm (SDA-LM). The model leverages features such as flight time duration and previous flight delays. Comparative analysis with SAE-LM and SDA models using both balanced and imbalanced datasets shows the SDA-LM model achieves superior precision, accuracy, sensitivity, and F-measure. Experimental results on U.S. domestic airline datasets demonstrate that SDA-LM outperforms traditional methods including RNN in delay prediction.
