About the company

Decisal builds optimization software for airlines to plan schedules and manage operations. Its product uses Unified Optimization & Management to coordinate flight planning, crew scheduling, and maintenance across departments with a single system. The core of the product is advanced optimization algorithms that model routes, times, aircraft, crews, and demand, then compute schedules that maximize profitability while satisfying safety, regulatory, and operational constraints. This approach enables cross‑department cooperation by sharing a single plan and data set, reducing silos and manual handoffs. Decisal differentiates itself by its unified optimization framework and strong academic recognition, including hundreds of citations in peer‑reviewed journals, and by being created by Imperial College students. Its goal is to help airlines increase profits and operate more efficiently by delivering optimized, collaboratively generated plans.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Decisal won new contracts from SAS, HK Express, Cathay Pacific, and Caribbean Airlines in 2025-2026.
  • Embraer renewed in 2025 and LOT Polish Airlines added another optimizer, proving expansion.
  • IBM named Decisal a global entrepreneur success story, strengthening enterprise credibility.

What critics are saying

  • Decisal lacks disclosed funding, leaving growth dependent on customer cashflows and contracts.
  • Airline software sales are lumpy; one lost renewal from Embraer or LOT hurts quickly.
  • Direct competition from established operations vendors can commoditize planning optimizers by 2027.

What makes Decisal unique

  • Imperial College London research roots still anchor Decisal's SchedulAir optimization engine.
  • Decisal serves airlines and aircraft makers, including SAS, Cathay Pacific, Embraer, and Copa.
  • London HQ and Vietnam office support airline planning software development at lower cost.
