Lumo

Lumo sells flight delay prediction tools. Its software uses real-time data and predictive modeling to see disruptions before they happen. The about page says the company was built for travelers, travel managers, agencies and airline operations teams. Its co-founders are Bala Chandran, the chief executive, and Hamsa Balakrishnan, the chief scientist, who is also a professor of aeronautics and astronautics at MIT.

For individual travelers there is Lumo Concierge, priced at 0.99 US dollars, which gives delay predictions and insights at an analyst level. For business users the company lists several products. Lumo Engage sends proactive alerts by email, SMS and WhatsApp to agency travelers, and the site says ALTOUR uses it. Lumo Navigator is a dashboard for travel arrangers and groups, including groups of 500. Lumo Control Tower gives agency operations managers a high-level view and can forecast call center volume from predicted disruptions.

Developers can use the Lumo API and an MCP server. The site names a Flights API, a Subscription API for disruption alerts, and further APIs for airline waivers and airport-level delay predictions. News on the site says the API has served companies for nearly a decade and is now available as self-serve.

Lumo Ops Manager is for airline operations teams. In the US and Canada, it forecasts FAA traffic flow management initiatives up to a week ahead and rates their likelihood and timing. Worldwide, it models airport capacity using real-time data, weather and traffic volume. The contact form asks visitors whether they are a corporate travel manager, a travel management company, a travel technology builder, an airline employee or press.
