Rise and Skylegs announce integration

Aviation scheduling software firm Rise and flight management system provider Skylegs are integrating their respective softwares. 

The move means operators using Skylegs can now feed their fleet, crew and operational data directly into Optirise – Rise’s optimisation software for aircraft fleets. 

“We’ve built Optirise to adapt to the way operators work, not the other way around,” said 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, added: “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 commitment to connect with the tools operators already use and remove complexity from the optimisation process. It’s also a signal of the company’s intentions for the European and North American markets, it added.
