Summary AI optimizes flight routes, saving fuel and reducing emissions. Some airlines consider single-pilot operations due to AI. AI helps eliminate error fares and improve predictive maintenance.
The world of artificial intelligence has come so far that some people believe that calling it “artificial” is wrong to begin with . Artificial intelligence has been used by airlines to revolutionize passenger travel . Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is set to introduce an AI security screening , while Eindhoven Airport is using this technology to improve aircraft handling.
From helping with flight connections to finding the next available gate for your aircraft, here's how airlines are using AI tools. At this point, it seems that AI is well on course to change commercial aviation. But how exactly can it do so? Let’s find out.
1 Enhancing route efficiency Airlines spend $215 billion a year, a significant portion of which is for optimizing routes One of the most challenging areas of work in aviation is route planning. Airlines spend a considerable amount of money on this costly endeavor. One of the reasons route planning is so costly is because there are a lot of variables involved.
These include the likes of: Air traffic congestion Fluctuating fuel costs Rapidly changing weather patterns According to an analysis by fareye.com , AI gathers data on the various variables written above (and more) to optimize flight routes: “Based on the collected data, the system formulates the specif.
