Gurobi Optimization Signs Partnership with Air France for Its Operations Research Projects
Gurobi Optimization, LLC today announced Air France has chosen Gurobi as the preferred optimization solver for its operations research projects. Air France will use the Gurobi Optimizer in its projects such as revenue management, ground staff planning, flight scheduling, flight crew planning, and engine maintenance. Air France expects to benefit from significant cost savings, increased profitability, and enhanced passenger and crew satisfaction through the use of the Gurobi Optimizer.
The Gurobi mathematical programming solver is used by airlines and transportation companies around the world to solve complex optimization problems. Optimization technology is used to manage the complex tradeoffs that arise whenever multiple activities compete for limited resources, often in situations where demand can vary significantly. The use of optimization in the airline industry has saved companies billions of dollars and driven significant gains in customer satisfaction levels.
Integrated into the Air France IT department, the mission of the Operations Research department is to optimize the operation of all company activities by transforming data into smart decisions. It thus contributes to the strategy of the company, through the improvement of the company's commercial and operational performance. Air France's Operations Research department is one of the most important in France and in the air transport sector. Employees are simultaneously consultants, innovators and developers. They work on various company domains, from maintenance to customer relations as well as flight crews.
“For several years, Air France's Operations Research department has been able to measure the efficiency of Gurobi’s solvers as part of its projects. I am pleased to be able to strengthen our partnership with Gurobi today, with a view to our future needs,” said Jean-Christophe Lalanne, Air France KLM CIO.
“Gurobi is pleased that Air France has chosen Gurobi Optimization for its operations research projects,” said Dr. Edward Rothberg, CEO, Gurobi Optimization. “Gurobi is seeing more and more airlines and airports switch to Gurobi technology because of our cutting-edge performance and industry-leading technical support. Our objective is simple: to build technologies that will contribute to our customers’ success in an increasingly complex global market.”
