The aviation industry is a vital component of global economic development, as it drives sectors such as tourism and trade. Adverse weather conditions significantly impact the safety and operational efficiency of aviation, which represents an important uncontrollable factor. This study aims to analyze the influence of adverse weather conditions on aviation operations. The findings show that 23 % of air accidents are related to meteorological factors such as adverse wind, low visibility, icing and turbulence. In addition, in the United States 82 % of flight delays and 42 % of flight cancellations are attributable to adverse weather events. The implementation of state-of-the-art technologies, such as artificial intelligence and predictive models, together with algorithms such as ATMAP (ATM Airport Performance), is considered crucial to improve planning and operational response to these conditions, enabling more efficient air traffic management, and maintaining the safety and punctuality of airport operations.
