Air Space Intelligence Flyways route optimisation for Alaska Airlines dispatchers
Deployed
Alaska Airlines uses Flyways, an AI route-optimisation platform from Air Space Intelligence, to suggest more efficient flight paths to its dispatchers. In a six-month trial in 2020 and 2021, Alaska said, Flyways found fuel-saving opportunities on 64% of mainline flights; dispatchers accepted 32% of the suggestions, saving 480,000 gallons of fuel and 4,600 tons of CO2.
Alaska renewed the partnership in August 2024 after four years of use. Its newsroom said on 9 August 2024 that Flyways found optimisation opportunities on 55% of flights and delivered 3 to 5% fuel and emissions savings on flights longer than four hours, and that it saved more than 1.2 million gallons of fuel in 2023, equivalent to 11,958 metric tons of CO2.
