FAA Proposes Advanced Software To Overhaul Flight Scheduling
The head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) met with CEOs of major US passenger airlines to discuss the agency’s plan to use advanced software to overhaul flight scheduling. The system, known as SMART, uses predictive analytics to reschedule flights and improve flight management. The FAA aims to begin rolling out the system this month, with the goal of reducing flight delays and cancellations. The meeting was organized by Airlines for America, the main industry trade group, and was reported by Reuters.
