Alaska Airlines is changing flight scheduling with artificial intelligence. The airline tests a new AI tool to optimize flight schedules, streamline connections, and boost efficiency.
Earlier this year, Alaska Airlines faced a major scheduling setback. A small flight timing change caused a significant loss of passengers and revenue, prompting the airline to rethink its approach.
To fix this, Alaska Airlines teamed up with an AI company to launch a tool that predicts the effects of scheduling changes. This tool assesses how flight timing shifts impact passenger flow, revenue, and reliability. It simulates potential outcomes, helping Alaska Airlines make quicker, smarter decisions.
The AI tool showed high accuracy in testing. It analyzed over 700,000 flight segments, predicting results with 90% accuracy. The tool accounts for factors that human schedulers might miss, enabling the airline to adjust schedules without losing efficiency.
Alaska Airlines expects to fully implement the AI solution by next year’s first half. The tool will help streamline operations and reduce errors. It will also improve passenger experiences with more reliable schedules.
As Alaska Airlines refines its use of AI, passengers will likely enjoy smoother flight schedules soon.
