AIR TRANSPORT

Optimal planning & operations
in airlines

daedalus-airline-operations

The suite of optimization tools for airlines

A framework aimed to optimize planning and operations

With our expertise on the field of air transport engineering we have designed Daedalus as an indispensable tool in the airline operations planning flow. The suite is composed by three modules that covers a wide variety of planning and operational stages: Rotations Builder, Tail Assigner, and Operations Manager. The modules are integrated to maximize productivity, but they can also be used separately, as standalone tools.
