Ryanair has announced a new five-year partnership with Google Cloud as part of its plans to grow to 300 million passengers per year by 2034.

Ryanair, which is currently Europe’s largest airline by passenger numbers, said that it will deploy Google Workspace and Google Cloud services to its 35,000 employees across its network to meet its growth target.

The partnership agreement includes the rollout of Gemini Enterprise, Google Cloud’s agentic AI platform designed to connect organisational data, automate workflows, and create custom AI agents.

The airline said it will use the platform to help automate decision-making, optimise flight crew logistics, and support overall corporate productivity, while also strengthening its resilience.

“Ryanair is on an incredible growth journey to 300 million passengers by 2034” said the company’s chief executive Eddie Wilson. “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.”
