Ryanair and AWS partnership to accelerate digital transformation

Ryanair has extended its AWS partnership for five years, expanding its use of cloud and AI technologies to enhance passenger experience, improve operational efficiency and accelerate digital innovation across the airline.

Summary:

Ryanair has extended its strategic partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) for a further five years to accelerate cloud and AI-driven innovation.
The airline will continue using AWS technologies to enhance the passenger experience, optimise flight operations, digitalise pilot workflows and improve employee productivity.
The renewed collaboration will also explore advanced capabilities such as agentic AI, supporting Ryanair’s long-term digital transformation strategy.

Ryanair – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – and Amazon Web Services (AWS) – a Gold Sponsor of FTE Global, Dallas, Texas, 8 to 10 September 2026 – have extended their longstanding collaboration for a further five years.

Through this renewed agreement, Ryanair will continue to leverage AWS’ cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, including Amazon Quick, Amazon Bedrock, and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, across its business, from powering Europe’s largest airline website and optimising schedules across its fleet of 647 aircraft and 3,900 daily flights, to enhancing operational efficiency through advanced AI tools, digitalising pilot workflows, and supporting employees with innovative apps that improve productivity, communication, and access to real-time information. Ryanair and AWS will build on this momentum and aim to continue raising the digital innovation bar in aviation using advanced technologies such as agentic AI.

“In addition to our unrivalled low fares, operational performance, and network, Ryanair also leads the air travel industry in digital transformation,” said Eddie Wilson, CEO, Ryanair. “AWS has been a key partner in helping us deliver a seamless experience for our customers from booking to boarding, while supporting the efficiency that underpins Ryanair’s low-cost model. As we continue to grow to 300 million passengers by 2034, having the right technology partners is critical. With that, we’re pleased to renew our longstanding agreement with AWS for another five years and look forward to working together to deliver further innovation, enhanced customer experience, and even greater efficiency across the Ryanair Group.”

Tanuja Randery, Vice President and Managing Director, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at AWS, commented: “At AWS, we’re proud to deepen our longstanding relationship with Ryanair, and support them as they reimagine the future of aviation. The industry is at a pivotal moment where cloud technology, AI, and data analytics are revolutionising both operational efficiency and customer experiences. Whether it’s using conversational AI to help passengers search for their next holiday, giving employees an AI assistant that provides actionable insights, or putting real-time information at the fingertips of pilots and crew, Ryanair is accelerating innovation across its business and for the millions of passengers that fly with the airline every week. We’re excited about what’s next.”
