Tim McMullen, VP of Business Development, Aviation and Travel Technology at DataArt, joined hosts Max Flight, Robert Mark, David Vanderhoof and Micah Engber to talk about the technology behind airline operations, the challenges of modernizing critical systems, and where AI could help airlines make faster decisions.
“We don't really start with technology. We start with, well, what are we solving for? What's the problem that we're trying to fix?”
“If you change out your dispatch system, your crew scheduling system. It's a bit akin to kind of doing open heart surgery.”
During a disruption, airlines are solving a massive jigsaw puzzle in real time. “AI and agentic AI is sort of a perfect way to address that in a very fast, fast way.”
