Why OptCo exists
Aircraft scheduling brings together timing, location, compatibility, maintenance, and airline policy. A schedule can look efficient at first and still break the rules that planners work with every day.
OptCo helps planning teams work through this complexity. It creates and compares different aircraft schedules while applying operating rules throughout the search.
The perspective behind the product
The founding team combines hands-on work with airline systems and practical optimization experience. We see scheduling as a connected airline process, not an abstract matching problem.
OptCo shows the information planners need to review a result: whether it works, which rules it follows, its maintenance position and costs, and how it differs from other scenarios.
A strong mathematical result is only part of the job. Planners also need to know why one scenario performs differently and whether its tradeoffs make sense.
Product principles
Use real operating rules from the start
Turnaround time, station continuity, aircraft availability, compatibility, maintenance, and grouped activities should be included while the schedule is built—not fixed afterward.
Airline policy should be configurable
OptCo’s rules matrix lets planners define preferred, non-preferred, and forbidden assignments, so the search follows the airline’s own priorities.
Results should support comparison
Costs by leg, by aircraft, and for the full scenario show where options differ and make tradeoffs easier to discuss.
Integration is part of the product
OptCo supports cloud deployment, secure data exchange, automatic exports, and connections to airline planning and operational systems.
What OptCo is working toward
Our goal is to make aircraft scheduling powerful, clear, realistic, and useful for planning teams. OptCo can grow as airlines add more operating rules and connected workflows.
