Advanced weather service with SITA

Working in partnership, the Met Office and SITA have developed a service which integrates the latest weather information with flight routes to create the most comprehensive pilot briefing available.

Accessed via SITA's Flight Briefing Online it provides a dynamic and global view of all types of weather phenomena combined with a flight plan overlay.

The service offers:

  • Interactive Graphical Service
    Combines web-based graphical images and weather briefings with flight-plan route information. This provides real-time, route-specific information to airline operations and staff.
  • Automatic Briefing Chart Service
    Automatically generates and outputs flight specific weather charts with flight-plan overlays. These can be based on user-specific rules and customised to user requirements.
  • Aircraft De-icing Forecast Service
    Integrates the Met Office’s Aircraft de-icing forecast service, which provides forecasts of aircraft de-icing conditions for airports worldwide.
  • Worldwide five-day forecasts
    Providing accurate forecasts up to five days in advance for any airport or location. The five-day forecasts display simply and effectively the key weather phenomena expected.
