Ryanair and Google Cloud Announce Five-Year Data and AI Partnership

Europe's largest airline adopts Google Cloud's data and AI platform—including Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace— supporting infrastructure resilience and operations

Ryanair (ISE: RYA), Europe's largest airline, and Google Cloud (NASDAQ: GOOGL) today announced a new five-year partnership. Under the agreement, Ryanair will deploy Google Workspace and Google Cloud services to 35,000 employees across its network to support the company's growth to 300 million passengers by 2034. This rollout includes Gemini Enterprise – Google Cloud's agentic AI platform designed to connect organisational data, automate workflows, and create custom AI agents. Gemini Enterprise will be used to help automate decision-making, optimise flight crew logistics, and support overall corporate productivity, while also strengthening its resilience from this new dual-cloud strategy.

Ryanair CEO, Eddie Wilson, said: "Ryanair is on an incredible growth journey to 300 million passengers by 2034. To support this growth, we need to ensure we have excellent infrastructure resilience, and our new dual-cloud strategy provides this, alongside technology partners that match our speed and relentless focus on efficiency. With that, we're pleased to partner with Google Cloud, putting Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace in the hands of our teams, driving even greater efficiency across our business while bolstering our infrastructure resilience."

Google Cloud Vice President, UK, Ireland and Sub-Saharan Africa, Maureen Costello, said: "Aviation is an industry defined by precision, and Ryanair is a pioneer in operational execution. We are thrilled to be Ryanair's AI transformation partner. This agreement demonstrates how deploying generative AI at scale – coupled with modern collaboration tools for frontline workers – can help industry leaders scale securely, reduce operational costs, and redefine the travel experience."

Ryanair will use Google Cloud's AI technology and multi-cloud services to support productivity and customer service, including:

• Multi-cloud resilience: Google Cloud will help Ryanair build a flexible system so it can utilise multiple cloud providers. This means if one cloud platform experiences any issues, critical airline services can quickly adapt, keeping flights and customer services running without interruption.
• Operational planning: Ryanair plans to utilise Google DeepMind models, including AlphaEvolve and WeatherNext, to assist fleet operations and maintenance scheduling.
• Collaborative infrastructure: Deploying Google Workspace with Gemini allows Ryanair to modernise its workflows by replacing its existing collaboration systems with a new cloud-focused platform.
