RISE, the company behind the fleet and operations optimizer OPTIRISE, and Skylegs, a leading Flight Management System used by operators worldwide, are proud to announce their new integration designed to streamline scheduling and drive smarter planning across the aviation industry. With this integration, operators using Skylegs can now seamlessly feed their fleet, crew and operational data directly into OPTIRISE. The result: faster scenario analysis and more efficient fleet utilization. All without the manual friction that often slows down planning teams.
Max Van Cauwenberghe, CEO at RISE commented: “We’ve built OPTIRISE to adapt to the way operators work, not the other way around. By integrating with Skylegs, we’re helping more teams remove repositioning flights, improve crew plans, and make decisions that actually move the needle.”
Maxim Schelfhout, CEO at Skylegs, stated: We often get asked to build optimization tools ourselves, but we believe it’s best to leave this to the experts. Our focus is on giving operators the right ecosystem, and with partners like RISE we stay true to our commitment of reducing waste — in time, resources, and unnecessary flights
The collaboration is part of RISE’s ongoing commitment to connect with the tools operators already use and remove complexity from the optimization process. It’s also a signal of RISE’s growing footprint in the European and North American markets, where Skylegs has a strong user base.
