Systems Development Engineer. I joined the company in February 2019.

can be interfaced with revenue management and booking systems
will upgauge and downgauge aircraft types according to bookings and forecasted demand

Industrial Optimizers celebrates 30 years with two-day anniversary event in Stockholm
Industrial Optimizers is celebrating three decades of serving the global transportation industry during 2019. The anniversary was marked with a two-day series of events this week at the Haymarket Hotel in Stockholm.
MP2 users from several customers joined the Industrial Optimizers team for an MP2 Workshop and Conference. MP2 users had the opportunity to share the ways the tool improves their businesses. MP2 users were given a presentation of plans for future versions. They also had the chance to provide feedback to our developers, which will be taken into account as MP2 is continuously improved.
The programme also contained presentations and lively discussions on how new technology might help address contemporary industry challenges.
As part of the events, guests enjoyed drinks and live music at Industrial Optimizers’ Thirtieth Anniversary Party. MP2 Workshop and Conference delegates were joined by industry colleagues and friends as well as previous members of the Industrial Optimizers team.
Industrial Optimizers’ CEO Tore Jenner remarked, “It was great to see so many representatives from many of the MP2 customers we have had since we started in 1989. They’ve been an integral part of our company’s success.”
The two day long events concluded with a guided boat tour of Stockholm.

Its MP2 tool has more than 300 users worldwide. In addition to Sweden, Industrial Optimizers has offices in the UK, USA, Mexico and the Philippines.
Effective Slot Management Crucial for Profitability
The record levels of airline growth are not being matched by a corresponding increase in airport capacity.
All the more airports are constrained by slot issues. Increasingly, airports and slot coordination authorities are paying greater scrutiny to airline performance, including levelling penalties for slot discrepancies. Slot Management is become an ever more time consuming task for airlines.
“Managing slots effectively can be crucial for an airline’s profitability. Failing to meet slot requirements can lead to economic penalties or even losing a slot entirely. Ensuring one makes the best use of slots held can help make an airline’s network deliver greater passenger numbers for a better bottom line”.
James Gardner, Business Development Manager, Industrial Optimizers
