Episode Synopsis

Behind every flight is a crew, and managing them is one of the most complex challenges in aviation. From rosters that change daily, to crew fatigue, to last-minute disruptions, the way airlines handle their workforce directly shapes safety, efficiency, and the passenger experience. In this episode of the Data Waypoint Podcast, Manuel together with zeroG data scientists Sara and Karim explore how AI is transforming crew management. They discuss how predictive models can prevent costly cancellations, how machine learning helps detect early signs of fatigue, and how Generative AI is giving crew managers and crews themselves better insights and support. It’s a conversation about moving beyond traditional optimization into a future of data-driven decision making, personalized schedules, and even self-healing rosters that adapt to change in real time. Crew management is no longer just about making the plan work, it’s about making it work smarter, human-centered, and more sustainably for both crew and passengers. Listen now to learn how data and AI are shaping the next era of crew management in aviation.📲 Discover more about zeroG on our website: https://www.zeroG.aeroLinkedIn: / zerog.aeroInstagram: / zerog.aeroWant to be part of an exciting team?
