American Airlines using Smart Gating technology for holiday season

American Airlines is using its Smart Gating machine learning technology for the holiday season to shorten taxi times, reduce ramp congestion and help aircraft get to gates faster. The technology mitigates situations where arriving aircraft have to wait for an available gate. The technology was developed by American’s information technology and operations teams. It uses real-time flight information and other data to automatically assign arriving aircraft to the nearest available gate. The technology was first tested at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in 2021. The technology is being used by American at the O’Hare International, Ronald Reagan Washington National, Charlotte
