While commercial air transport as an industry is still hesitant about employing artificial intelligence (AI), major players in air traffic management (ATM) are proceeding to operational use from experiments and prototype tools. Especially in Europe, where insufficient airspace capacity has been a vexing issue, air traffic controllers are likely to see their jobs evolving. The power of AI may be harnessed to reduce the controllers' workload and allow more time for decision-making. AI also may make ATM more effective by freeing up time for controllers to fine-tune aircraft trajectories. Moreover, traffic and delay predictions may become more accurate.
