Ryanair said it will deploy Google’s Gemini AI tools and DeepMind models across its operations under a new five-year partnership with Google Cloud, as the airline builds technology capacity to support its goal of carrying more than 300 million passengers annually by 2034. The rollout, announced on August 12, includes Google Workspace and Google Cloud services for about 35,000 employees across Ryanair’s network. The airline said the deal complements, rather than replaces, its existing Amazon Web Services setup as part of a dual-cloud strategy designed to diversify risk and reduce the potential impact of a single platform failure. Ryanair plans to use Gemini Enterprise to build custom AI agents to automate complex operational decisions, improve crew scheduling and proactively address possible flight disruptions through predictive analytics. It also plans to use Google DeepMind models including AlphaEvolve and WeatherNext to strengthen fleet management, improve maintenance planning and reduce weather-related delays and cancellations. Financial terms were not disclosed. The move fits a broader airline industry push, highlighted in research from SITA and IATA, to use AI in customer service, operations and maintenance as carriers try to improve efficiency and reliability amid rising costs and strong passenger demand.
