You didn’t read the article. The answer is simple. It won’t, because it’s not being used for airspace control.
The article isn’t clear but based on the examples it might not be used for ‘real time’ operations at all. It’s being used for flight scheduling to make sure there aren’t more planes inbound than there are runways for a given time period and other such problems weeks in advance.
I still don’t agree with it given AI’s track record but it isn’t the dire situation you described either.
The problem is likely exponential. Technically, some optimization algorithms like genetic algorithms are “AI.” I could see them also doing something like AlphaGo (predictive model + monte-carlo tree search).

Why does this need an AI?
