The world's only dark sky airport sits inside a national park Visitors at Jackson Hole Airport can spot the Milky Way from the parking lot. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Airports aren't typically known for being the best places to view the night sky. But last spring, the Jackson Hole Airport in Wyoming became the first airport in the world to become certified as an International Dark Sky Place, thanks to a community committed to night sky preservation. Here's how they did it, why it matters, and how it's still as safe to fly into as any other airport (because we know you were wondering).

Bungie's Marathon arrives on March 5 How to claim Verizon's $20 outage credit The company is launching its fully autonomous robotaxi service in a number of new US cities in 2026. Waymo's fully autonomous robotaxis are now accepting passengers in Miami. The city was one of five in expansion plans last year, and joins the likes of Phoenix, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area on Waymo's existing network. Waymo that nearly 10,000 Miami residents have signed up so far, and that it will send out invites to new riders on a rolling basis in the weeks and months to come. The autonomous ride-hailing service will initially cover a 60-square-mile area that includes neighborhoods like the Design District and Wynwood, with Waymo planning to expand to Miami International Airport soon.

American Airlines' AI system delays flights to help passengers make connections, expanding testing from Dallas-Fort Worth to Los Angeles, Charlotte, Miami and elsewhere.

Accurate and reliable aircraft landing time prediction is essential for effective resource allocation in air traffic management. However, the inherent uncertainty of aircraft trajectories and traffic flows poses significant challenges to both prediction accuracy and trustworthiness. Therefore, prediction models should not only provide point estimates of aircraft landing times but also the uncertainties associated with these predictions. Furthermore, aircraft trajectories are frequently influenced by the presence of nearby aircraft through air traffic control interventions such as radar vectoring. Consequently, landing time prediction models must account for multi-agent interactions in the airspace. In this work, we propose a probabilistic multi-agent aircraft landing time prediction framework that provides the landing times of multiple aircraft as distributions. We evaluate the proposed framework using an air traffic surveillance dataset collected from the terminal airspace of the Incheon International Airport in South Korea. The results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves higher prediction accuracy than the baselines and quantifies the associated uncertainties of its outcomes. In addition, the model uncovered underlying patterns in air traffic control through its attention scores, thereby enhancing explainability.

Thousands of Airbus planes are being returned to normal service after being grounded for hours due to a warning that solar radiation could interfere with onboard flight control computers. The aerospace giant - based in France - said around 6,000 of its A320 planes had been affected with most requiring a quick software update. Some 900 older planes need a replacement computer. French Transport Minister Philippe Tabarot said the updates went very smoothly for more than 5,000 planes. Fewer than 100 aircraft still needed the update, Airbus had told him, according to local media.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has ordered a ground delay at Chicago O'Hare International Airport Wednesday morning due to snow and ice building up on runways. The delay is scheduled to last until 10pm ET and has already caused average wait times of more than an hour for departing flights. According to Flight Aware, more than 2,300 flights entering and exiting the US today have been delayed, including over 350 at Chicago O'Hare alone. Departures at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston were delayed by 30 minutes due to strong winds, and the FAA expected those wait times to increase throughout the day.
