Ryanair announced on Wednesday that it will deploy Google's Gemini AI tools and DeepMind models across all its operations as part of a new five-year cloud partnership, using the technology to help manage crew scheduling and operational decision-making.
Reuters reported that Ryanair, Europe's largest airline by passenger numbers, will roll out Alphabet's Google Workspace and Google Cloud services to 35.000 employees across its network, supporting its efforts to reach its goal of carrying 300 million passengers annually by 2034.
"To support this growth, we need to ensure that we have exceptional resilience in our infrastructure, and our new dual cloud strategy provides that, combined with technology partners that match our speed and relentless focus on efficiency," said Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson.
Ryanair's agreement with Google Cloud enhances the existing use of Amazon Web Services, as part of a strategy to reduce the risk of technology disruptions. It will also use Google DeepMind models, including AlphaEvolve and WeatherNext, to support fleet operations and maintenance scheduling. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
