Ryanair<\/a>\u00a0is embarking on a new five-year partnership with\u00a0Google Cloud<\/a>\u00a0as the airline prepares to scale its operations and support its long-term growth ambitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Under the agreement, 35,000 Ryanair employees across its network will gain access to Google Workspace and Google Cloud services. The technology rollout is intended to support the airline\u2019s plans to reach 300 million passengers by 2034, whilst\u00a0enhancing productivity and operational resilience.\u00a0<\/p>\n Central to the partnership is Gemini Enterprise, Google Cloud\u2019s\u00a0agentic artificial intelligence (AI). The solution is designed to connect organisational data, automate workflows,\u00a0and enable businesses to create tailored AI agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n For Ryanair, the technology will be deployed to support decision-making, optimise flight crew\u00a0logistics,\u00a0and improve productivity across the organisation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Alongside its AI ambitions, Ryanair will use the partnership to reinforce its infrastructure through a new dual-cloud strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n Google Cloud\u2019s multi-cloud services will allow the airline to work across multiple cloud providers, creating greater flexibility across its digital infrastructure. Should one cloud platform experience disruption, critical airline services will be able to adapt quickly, helping Ryanair\u00a0maintain\u00a0its flight operations and customer services.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ryanair CEO,\u00a0Eddie Wilson<\/a>, said:\u00a0\u201cRyanair is on an incredible growth journey to 300 million passengers by 2034.
