Revolutionizing Air Traffic Control With Predictive Analytics
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has partnered with Air Space Intelligence to modernize the US airspace system, with the goal of increasing efficiency and reducing congestion. Air Space Intelligence’s Flyways AI system, which is already being used by Alaska Airlines, helps dispatchers optimize flight routes and reduce fuel consumption. The FAA has awarded an $875 million contract to Air Space Intelligence to develop the SMART system, which will provide a unified view of the national airspace. This development was first reported by Oregon Public Broadcasting.
