Jason McGuinness, Ryanair’s director of commercial, said: “We are excited about the potential offered by Optifly’s scheduling software to support Ryanair’s traffic growth to 200m passengers per annum by 2026.”

Steven Kearney, chief executive of Optifly, added: “We are delighted to be partnering with Ryanair and are looking forward to helping them improve on their industry-leading sectors per aircraft while supporting traffic growth to 200m passengers across their expanding network.”
