Average Delay Time and Delay Reason for various carriers with interactive color legend
This bar chart displays the average departure delay time for various airline carriers, segmented by the specific delay reason. The color of each bar segment encodes the reason for the delay, with an interactive color legend allowing users to filter the carriers and reasons displayed. Hovering over a bar segment reveals a tooltip showing the exact delay reason and average delay time. The visualization is built using the Vega-Lite API with D3.js, aggregated from flight delay data supplied as a CSV file, and uses a multi-selection interaction to control bar opacity.
AI-generated descriptionThe data shown here comes from Flight Delay Analysis Dataset
This chart meant to show the "Average Delay Time and Delay Reason for various airline carriers". The color denotes the delay reason. The Delay Reason and the Avg Delay Time for each airline are shown on the tooltip as well when you hover over it.
The questions that can be asked from this chart are:
- Which Aircraft Carrier has the highest average departure delay? Ans = B6
- Which Aircraft Carrier has the lowest average departure delay? Ans = HA
- For the B6 Carrier, what was the major cause of delay? Ans = Carrier Delay
- Which type of Delay caused the Max Avg Departure Delay?How much was the delay and for which aircraft was it? - Ans = National Air System Delay - 1257.14 mins - NK
- For each Aircraft Carrier, what are the delays they can reduce so as to increase on-time performance?
Overall my experience with this visualization was insightful. It was able to answer the questions/tasks well and it was easy for me to derive insights from this graph.
