The FAA is taking its SMART system, an AI tool that helps manage flight routes, nationwide after a successful test run in Washington, D.C.
The $875 million project has already rerouted 180 flights, saving about 10 minutes and 80 gallons of fuel per flight.
Now, all 22 air traffic control centers across the US will be using it.
SMART reduces delays but raises concerns
SMART is designed to cut down on delays and fuel use, making flights smoother and greener.
But don't worry, human controllers still have the final say on any route changes.
Some air traffic controllers are concerned they weren't included enough in developing SMART, and lawmakers want a safety review.
As Sean Duffy put it, "There's always going to be a human that manages the airspace in America," according to Politico.
