Disclosed herein are methods and systems for dynamically calculating a total fuel uplift quantity for an aircraft scheduled to fly a flight route. In one aspect, a method comprises: (a) polling a plurality of sources to receive data indicative of: (i) real-time weather conditions in remaining flight sectors in the flight route, and (ii) delay information in the remaining sectors; (b) calculating for the remaining sectors a respective fuel consumption factor; (c) based on (i) respective fuel quotations in the remaining sectors, (ii) the real-time weather conditions, and (iii) the delay information, generating a linear model for calculating a respective fuel uplift quantity at arrival stations in the remaining sectors; (d) calculating using the linear model the respective fuel uplift quantity at the arrival stations; and (e) periodically performing operations (a)-(d) to update a calculation of the respective fuel uplift quantities to account for changing factors. 1. A method for dynamically calculating a total fuel uplift quantity for an aircraft to account for changing factors as the aircraft flies along a flight route that comprises a plurality of flight sectors , wherein a flight sector comprises a respective flight between a respective departure station and a respective arrival station , the method comprising:(a) polling in real-time a plurality of sources to receive data indicative of: (i) real-time respective weather conditions in each of one or more remaining flight sectors in the flight route, and (ii) respective delay information for the respective flights in the remaining flight sectors;(b) calculating for the remaining flight sectors a respective fuel consumption factor, wherein the respective fuel consumption factor is a function of altitude and travel distance that accounts for variations in fuel consumption due to variations in altitude and travel distance of the aircraft;(c) based on (i) respective fuel quotations at the remaining arrival stations, (ii) ...
