Alaska Airlines has renewed its partnership with Air Space Intelligence (ASI) to optimize the airline’s use of artificial intelligence and help it achieve its sustainability goals, including net-zero carbon emissions.
Alaska Airlines has been using ASI’s Flyways AI platform and dispatch application in its Network Operations Center for four years. Flyways supports dispatchers in flight route planning, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. By using Flyways, the airline was able to reduce fuel and emissions by 3 to 5 percent on flights lasting over four hours.
Last year alone, Flyways AI saved the airline 1.2 million gallons of fuel, equivalent to 11,958 megatons of CO2 emissions.
“Flyways’ AI platform has proven invaluable in providing our amazing dispatch team with a modern aircraft attitude display for pre-departure flight planning and en route flight tracking, while saving fuel, reducing carbon emissions and ensuring a reliable and enjoyable travel experience for our guests,” said Captain Bret Peyton, Alaska Airlines’ general manager of network operations control.
“Our partnership with Air Space Intelligence underscores our long-term commitment to innovation, operational excellence, technological advancement and sustainability,” continued Captain Peyton.
