Everything you need to know
about FlightGuard

FlightGuard is a free tool that analyses the risk of flight delay or cancellation. It combines 9 real-time factors — weather, fuel price, airline punctuality, ATC delays, strikes, NOTAMs, flight trend, geopolitics and route history — into a score from 0 to 100. Below 15 is low risk, 15–34 is medium, 35+ is high.

FlightGuard supports any commercial flight with a valid flight number (e.g. FR5121, BA553, IB3170). The analysis is optimised for European flights from airlines like Ryanair, easyJet, Vueling, ITA Airways and Wizz Air, but also works for intercontinental routes.

FlightGuard is completely free and requires no registration. Enter your flight number, pick a date and get your result in 2 seconds. You can also set up free email alerts to be notified if your flight’s risk score changes.

FlightGuard’s algorithm assigns a different weight to each factor: fuel (22%), weather (18%), airline punctuality (15%), ATC delays (12%), strikes (10%), NOTAMs (8%), flight trend (7%), geopolitics (5%), route history (3%). Data comes from institutional sources such as EUROCONTROL, OpenMeteo, FlightAware and GDELT, updated every 15–30 minutes.

FlightGuard uses data from institutional and public sources: EUROCONTROL for ATC delays, OpenMeteo for weather, GDELT for strikes and geopolitics, FlightAware for flight history. The algorithm has been validated on over 7 million flights. The risk score is an indicative estimate and does not replace official airline communications.
