Irish aviation technology company Optifly has launched a new artificial intelligence platform designed to help airlines optimise their schedules and improve network profitability. The product known as Opty combines agentic AI with Optifly’s existing optimisation technology allowing airline planners to analyse network challenges using natural language and rapidly evaluate alternative scheduling scenarios.
Schedulers can use Opty to assess issues such as capacity reductions, fleet allocation changes or route network adjustments by describing the challenge in their own words. The system then generates and evaluates multiple alternative schedules while ensuring compliance with operational and regulatory requirements.
The Dublin-based company says the platform has already been used in production environments. Future versions will allow planners to automatically generate and compare dozens of network scenarios within minutes. One example cited involved identifying capacity to support ten additional weekly flights using the existing fleet representing a potential revenue opportunity of up to €6m. Optifly says its systems have delivered aircraft utilisation improvements of up to 5pc.
Daniel Mulcahy shared “Airlines are under enormous pressure to make better commercial decisions, faster. It’s about aligning capacity with demand and making the most profitable use of every aircraft and every flight.”
