Optimization for the Decisions That Keep Airlines Moving

Airlines make complex, interconnected decisions across every planning horizon: which markets to serve and flights to operate, how to price and manage seat inventory, how to deploy aircraft and plan maintenance, how to staff and schedule crews, and how to reassign critical resources when operations are disrupted. Gurobi helps airlines optimize these decisions while accounting for the operational, financial, regulatory, and contractual constraints behind them.

  • Improve network profitability and connectivity by optimizing routes, schedules, hubs, capacity, and airport slots.

  • Maximize revenue from every flight by optimizing fares, seat inventory, capacity-to-demand matching, and ancillary offers.

  • Get more from aircraft and maintenance capacity while reducing operating costs, fuel burn, idle capacity, and unnecessary disruption.

  • Use crew capacity more effectively while balancing cost, productivity, qualifications, regulatory requirements, preferences, and fairness.

  • Reduce the impact of disruptions by re-optimizing aircraft and crew decisions to minimize delays and cancellations and restore operations faster.
