RISE, the French company behind the fleet and operations optimiser OptiRISE, and Belgian flight management system Skylegs have launched a new integration designed to streamline scheduling and improve planning across the aviation industry.

With the integration, operators using Skylegs can now feed fleet, crew and operational data directly into OptiRISE. This allows faster scenario analysis and more efficient fleet utilisation, without the manual friction that often slows down planning teams.

“We’ve built OptiRISE to adapt to the way operators work, not the other way around,” says Max Van Cauwenberghe, CEO at RISE. “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, adds: “We often get asked to build optimisation 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 wider aim to connect with the tools operators already use and reduce complexity in the optimisation process. It also illustrates RISE’s growing footprint in European and North American markets, where Skylegs has an established user base.
