Motulus Aero

Motulus.aero is the aviation software arm of Motulus, a Belgian company that builds optimisation software for airlines. The about page says Motulus was founded in 2015 by experts in mathematical algorithms, software engineering and high-performance computing, and that in 2019 it moved to bring high performance software to aviation. Motulus.com develops the proprietary optimisation algorithms, which Motulus.aero integrates into solutions meant to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating cost for airlines.

Products and focus

• MCrew, an integrated crew solver for scheduling crew, including features for optimised crew base switches and for finding the minimum number of crew needed to operate a schedule
• Crew pairing generation using pairings optimisation
• Crewpal, a web app that lets crew influence their rosters
• Optimisation aimed at reducing fuel and operating costs while keeping operational stability and on-time performance high

Approach

The company combines cloud computing with its algorithms to look for the global optimum of an airline planning problem. Its site states that benchmarks show improvements of up to 25 percent compared with approaches that are not driven by mathematics. It describes its team as a mix of PhD level mathematicians, university professors, software engineers and aviation experts, and its proprietary solvers as easy to customise for fast implementation.

Publications

Site articles cover subjects such as the unique crew planning challenges of ACMI and charter airlines, and weekly product focus notes on features of MCrew.
