Ryanair adds Google to its dual-cloud flight plan
Gemini gets to juggle crews, forecasts, and maintenance while AWS keeps its seat
Ryanair has entered into a five-year agreement with Google Cloud, expanding its dual-cloud infrastructure strategy alongside rival Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Irish budget airline plans to deploy Google Workspace and Google Cloud services across its 35,000 employees as it pushes towards a goal of 300 million passengers annually by 2034.
The rollout will incorporate Google's Gemini Enterprise agentic AI platform, which aims to automate decision-making, optimize flight crew logistics, and enhance staff productivity. Google DeepMind's AlphaEvolve will refine algorithms, while WeatherNext will assist in forecasting and maintenance planning. This dual-cloud setup allows for seamless switching between providers during outages, ensuring uninterrupted flight operations and customer services.
Ryanair's CEO, Eddie Wilson, emphasized the importance of robust infrastructure resilience for supporting the airline's ambitious growth trajectory. Google Cloud's Maureen Costello hailed the partnership as a demonstration of how generative AI and modern collaboration tools can scale securely, reduce operational costs, and redefine the travel experience.
