Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 airline, last week signed a license agreement with Optifly, a supplier of next generation schedule optimisation software. After a trial phase during 2021, Ryanair plans to roll out Optifly’s software across its fleet.
Optifly’s scheduling software will support the development of Ryanair’s network as it takes delivery of 210 “gamechanger” Boeing 8-200 aircraft and grows traffic to 200m passengers p.a. over the next five years.
