On average, Flyways AI has identified optimization opportunities for 55 percent of Alaska’s flights, contributing to fuel savings of three to five percent on flights longer than four hours. In the last year alone, these optimized routes saved over 1.2 million gallons of fuel, equivalent to reducing 11,958 metric tons of CO2 emissions. These efforts support Alaska’s ambition to become the most fuel-efficient U.S. airline by 2025.
Captain Bret Peyton, Managing Director of Network Operations Control at Alaska Airlines, praised the Flyways AI platform as an invaluable tool for the airline’s dispatch team, emphasizing its role in achieving fuel savings, cutting carbon emissions, and enhancing the overall travel experience for passengers.
Phillip Buckendorf, CEO of Air Space Intelligence, expressed enthusiasm for the continued collaboration, noting the partnership’s success in demonstrating the transformative power of artificial intelligence in aviation. He affirmed the shared commitment to driving further efficiency gains and sustainability in the years to come.
As Alaska Airlines continues to lead in aviation innovation, this renewed partnership with ASI underscores a shared vision of harnessing AI to create a more efficient, reliable, and environmentally responsible future for air travel.
