Groupe Dubreuil Aero Airlines Adopt IBS Software for Unified Crew & Flight Ops

Groupe Dubreuil Aero, the aviation division of the French family-owned group, has selected IBS Software's iFlight Core solution to digitally transform flight operations and crew management across its three airline brands: French bee, Air Caraïbes, and Air Caraïbes Atlantique. This strategic partnership aims to replace the airlines' fragmented legacy IT infrastructure with a unified, cloud-based platform, streamlining operations across their diverse regional and long-haul networks spanning the USA, Indian Ocean, Pacific, and Caribbean regions.

The implementation of iFlight Core will enable these airlines to become among Europe's first multi-AOC carriers to deploy unified, AI-enhanced operations management at scale. The advanced crew planning tools are expected to significantly boost operational stability, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and enhance satisfaction for pilots, cabin crew, and controllers managing complex schedules across multiple time zones and operational models.

IBS Software's iFlight Core offers an integrated, expandable platform built on modern cloud architecture, featuring a comprehensive API framework for seamless connectivity with the airlines' existing ecosystem partners. This open architecture specifically supports Air Caraïbes and French bee's hybrid operational model, accommodating both leg-based and pairing-based crew planning across their varied route networks, from short-haul Caribbean flights to transoceanic operations. Paul-Henri Dubreuil, Chairman of Groupe Dubreuil Aero, highlighted the partnership as a strategic milestone in their digital transformation, emphasizing the flexibility to optimize operations while preserving each airline's distinct characteristics.

Ben Simmons, SVP at IBS Software, noted that this collaboration demonstrates how modern, unified solutions can effectively serve complex, multi-airline operations in diverse markets, supporting the airlines' goals to enhance crew efficiency, reduce operational costs, and increase competitiveness. This agreement also represents a significant market expansion for iFlight Core, marking its second major European airline group partnership, targeting agile small and mid-sized airlines with intelligent, data-driven processes.
