AI’s critical assistance to the Aviation Industry Today.

AI is the latest kid on the  block.AI is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computers. Applications of AI include expert systems natural language processing, speech recognition, and machine Vision. It requires a foundation of specific areas of application like facial recognition or fraud detection. All this can be harnessed to provide critical assistance to the aviation industry

AI  is one of the most commonly used phrases today.Ai is raising expectations and in equal measure breeding fear. It is raising expectations because of the limitless nature of its abilities, It is breeding fear due to the same growing abilities, The questions around the fear are like will AI run out of human control? Will it provide critical assistance?

In the aviation industry in what areas can Ai provide critical assistance? One such area would be air navigational aids and aircraft maintenance. Due to delays and cancellations, airlines undergo heavy financial burdens including maintenance costs and compensation for standard passengers in airports. Predictive analytics used in fleet technical assistance is a convenient panacea given that unscheduled maintenance can account for 30% of total delay time.

Another area where Ai is providing critical assistance is customer service and retention.Ai can be applied to optimize pricing strategies, raise customer expectations to attract them, and increase the general flight experience.

Another area where Ai is inevitable is fleet and operational management. Fleet operators can lower operating expenses by optimizing their fleets. by using AI-powered systems. Dynamic pricing is used for maximizing revenues by optimizing base published fares. that are already calculated.in accordance with passenger journey, and flight path.

Further adjustment is done after further evaluation of customer and market conditions..many different variables such as the number of free seats, and whether it is during holidays. Another area of AI use is airline revenue optimization.

Another area is flight delay prediction. Flight delays are dependent on many factors such as weather and happenings in other airports. Predictive analytics can be used to analyze massive data to predict delays and update flight times.

Opportunities to automate airport processes such as ground handling.loading, fueling, and safety checks. Predictive maintenance will also help airlines to save money over a long time as there would be fewer parts replacements and overhauls.

Crew scheduling is another area where AI can have a significant impact. Due to the escalating nature of costs associated with flight attendant costs, big data analysis can be used to find the best way to schedule an airline crew to maximize their time and retention. This is another area where AI is providing critical assistance.

AI can provide critical assistance in avoiding travel disruption. A schedule recovery system helps airlines mitigate the risks of travel disruption and flight delays. One such system has been made by GDS and is called Amedius.

Another area where AI is providing critical assistance is fraud detection. By analyzing customers’ flight and .purchase patterns and coupling them with historical data, passengers with suspicious credit card transactions and eliminate fraudulent cases.

AI is also expected to advance autonomous flying aircraft which would most likely be more reliable in terms of safety, than piloted aircraft. To buttress this point, it should be noted that most analyzed airplane accidents are human error related rather than electrical or mechanical malfunctions. This would be such a huge relief to aircraft operators, passengers, and insurance companies. This is a critical assistance AI is providing to the aviation industry.

Another important area for AI in aviation is airport security. Biometrics and facial recognition has paved the way for seamless airport security. A similar approach can be used to track people moving across the airport and get a better look at the flow of traffic. This is the critical assistance AI is providing to the aviation industry

The above processes are part of the critical assistance AI is doing to Assist the aviation industry to operate more effectively, and efficiently. and profitably.Any airline or airport management. with the intent of operating in the current technology realms cannot avoid engaging AI and hope to survive. or become profitable.
