Systems and methods for generating predicted operational parameters associated with an airport

A method for generating predicted operational parameters associated with an airport comprising:

• receiving controller pilot data link communication (CPDLC) messages exchanged between a CPDLC system and a first plurality of aircraft at an airport;
• receiving air traffic control (ATC) messages exchanged between ATC and a second plurality of aircraft at the airport;
• generating a training dataset associated with at least one operational parameter by aggregating the CPDLC messages and the ATC messages;
• extracting features associated with the at least one operational parameter from the CPLDC messages and the ATC messages, wherein the extracted features comprise at least one of flight phases, runway identifiers, taxiway identifiers, and pathway identifiers for pathways to airport gates;
• training an airport operational model associated with the airport using the training dataset, wherein the training dataset comprises a subset of the extracted features;
• receiving a request for at least one predicted operational parameter associated with the airport from a first aircraft;
• generating the at least one predicted operational parameter using the trained airport operational model, the at least one predicted operational parameter corresponding to one of the at least one operational parameter;
• and
• transmitting the at least one predicted operational parameter to the first aircraft.

At least one non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that stores instructions executable by at least one processor, the instructions configurable to cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving controller pilot data link communication (CPDLC) messages exchanged between a CPDLC system and a first plurality of aircraft at an airport;
• receiving air traffic control (ATC) messages exchanged between ATC and a second plurality of aircraft at the airport;
