description Data analysis of weather phenomena to either predict or control human imprint on the environment requires the collection of various forms of observational data ranging from historical and longitudinal to forecast. The objective of this research paper is the development of a data warehouse (DW) based on a new hybrid logical schema, concerning the assimilation and maintenance of historical meteorological data from all operating airports in Greece, along with data in the Greek Flight Information Region related to flight delays and cancellations. SQL is used for querying these data and makes them easily accessible and manageable. The data from the DW are collected and used as training data for the induction of predictive models. In this study, the prediction problem is cast as a classification task, and different decision tree induction techniques are applied to build accurate models that allow flexible scheduling and planning for the minimization of waiting time and inconvenience of passengers.
