Trusted by the world’s leading airlines:

The Optifly

Planning Platform

A modern platform that combines scheduling, optimisation and embedded intelligence to help airlines design, adapt and improve their networks continuously.

Long-term network optimisation

Short-term & in-season optimisation

Aircraft allocation & fuel optimisation

Modern day-to-day schedule management

Integrated slot management

Crew reduction optimisation

Products can be deployed individually or combined as the Optifly Schedule Operating System.

Surrounding the optimisation engine is a modern planning suite, scheduling, slot management, and embedded intelligence, built on the same data and constraint model.

Embedded Intelligence
Across the Platform

Outcomes that Matter

Proven Performance Improvements

By embedding optimisation across the entire schedule lifecycle, Optifly delivers sustained improvements in utilisation, cost efficiency, and operational robustness — with value that compounds over time.

Airlines using Optifly typically achieve:

By embedding optimisation across the full schedule lifecycle, value compounds rather than erodes.

1-5

Improvement in aircraft utilisation

0.3–0.7

Reduction in fuel cost through improved aircraft allocation

Up to 10

Reduction in crews

Schedule adjustments in minutes, not weeks.

Build schedules in minutes or hours rather than weeks or months.

Faster scenario testing and schedule adjustments.

More robust schedules that preserve value through the season.

Optimisation gains vary based on change appetite, network structure, and fleet mix.

Optimisation at the Core

Control Everywhere Else

An optimisation engine purpose-built for large airline networks and complex operational constraints.

Generate new schedules or re-optimise existing ones, with consistent constraints and measurable trade-offs.

Without deep optimisation, schedules may look feasible but underperform. Utilisation plateaus. Value erodes as conditions change.

The Challenge

Legacy systems weren’t built for optimisation

Most products are scheduling-led, with generic solvers bolted on. They cannot sustain optimisation at scale or under continuous change.

Most airline planning systems rely on manual scheduling supported by generic optimisation solvers.

They struggle with scale, constraint density, and continuous change. Manual scheduling products help planners edit schedules. They don’t optimise network performance.

As schedules move closer to operation:

Optimisation weakens

Manual work increases

Long-term intent erodes

Spreadsheets persist not because planners prefer them — but because systems were never designed to operate as one.

One System Across the Schedule Lifecycle

Replace legacy manual products with a unified optimisation OS

Optifly supports airline planning from long-term network design through to day-of-operations — within a single operating system. Optimisation-first. AI-embedded. One unified constraint engine powering planning, scheduling, slots, and intelligent decision support.

OptiAI

How can I help you today?

Jacob Smith

Can we increase utilisation next week without adding aircraft?

OptiAI

Yes. I generated two feasible schedule improvements:

OptiAI

+1.7% utilisation by retiming middle of the day departures based on your guidance.
+2.4% utilisation by adding an extra night stop on days 2 and 4

OptiAI

All scenarios respect slots, curfews and maintenance constraints.

One system across the lifecycle:

Strategic optimisation to increase utilisation and network robustness.

In-season optimisation considering real operational constraints.

Aircraft allocation optimisation to reduce fuel and emissions costs, and increase aircraft utilisation.

Modern schedule build and management with live validation.

Integrated slot management with full compliance and traceability.

Embedded intelligence to explain outcomes and accelerate decisions.

Clean-sheet or warm-start optimisation — using the same constraint model across every horizon.

All modules operate on the same live schedule state, data model, and constraint framework.

This is why Optifly behaves as infrastructure — not a collection of tools.

The Optifly Difference

The result is a schedule that can be trusted — not just visualised.

Every schedule improves continuously through optimisation — not manual adjustments.

Every change can be tested against operational and commercial constraints before it is implemented.

Every decision is evaluated with clear, measurable trade-offs across utilisation, cost, fuel, crew, and robustness.

Every product draws on the same underlying optimisation engine, ensuring consistency across planning horizons.

Long-Term

Optimise seasonal schedules and fleet allocation.
