FAA AI rerouting tool cuts delays for 24,000 passengers in first rollout

The FAA's new AI-powered SMART system has rerouted nearly 180 flights, saving over 10 minutes per flight for 24,000 passengers. This marks an early operational deployment of AI in air traffic management, though the system's long-term reliability and scalability remain unproven. The initiative signals a shift toward AI-driven infrastructure optimization under the current administration.
