The FAA has expanded its $875 million SMART AI advisory system from Washington, DC airspace to all 22 US air route traffic control centers. The agency says the tool rerouted 180 flights in its initial rollout, saving roughly 10 minutes and nearly 80 gallons of fuel per flight, while the air traffic controllers' union says it was excluded from design and testing.
