Prediction market/ insurance on flight departures

Several times I experienced being on a flight and it got canceled but I got the information way later than it was available.
Another thing: delayed flights are often directly connected to additional costs. (You miss your shuttle, connecting flight, you have additional costs because you need to take a taxi instead of taking the metro…)

So data about when plains start and land are public. There could be an insurance/prediction market on this. Basically you a) get better information about the real status of the flight and b) you can insure against the flight being late.

Had this idea first the last time my flight was canceled but it came back to my mind today because of this article and a team doing exactly this: http://www.coindesk.com/ipo-and-insurance-projects-win-2000-at-blockchain-hackathon/
