Ryanair signed a five-year partnership with Google $GOOGL Cloud on Wednesday, deploying the Alphabet unit's AI tools across its operations to automate crew scheduling and reduce the risk of technology outages.

Under the agreement, Google Workspace and Google Cloud services will be extended to 35,000 Ryanair staff members across the carrier's network. At the heart of the agreement is Gemini Enterprise, Google Cloud's agentic AI platform, which Ryanair intends to harness for building proprietary AI agents, streamlining key operational choices, and improving how flight crews are managed. Financial terms were not disclosed.
