Solutions specifically designed to manage the complex airline world.

At the heart of every Altitude solution, is the use of advanced optimization technologies developed by our optimization specialists and by our world-renowned research partners. Through innovative thinking, progressive research and development in optimization technology and a thorough understanding of the airline industry, Altitude has remained at the forefront of optimization innovation.

Since 1987, Altitude has maintained a strong commitment towards research and development in the field of Operations Research - the science behind our award winning optimization technology. In fact, nearly 25 percent of our staff is comprised of optimization professionals dedicated to ongoing R&D projects. The Altitude airline division is headquartered in Montreal, Canada - an important member of the international Operations Research (OR) community. With 7 universities and numerous OR research centers, Montreal is widely considered to be an OR hotspot for talented students and professionals.

Operations Research - An explanation

Operations Research (OR) is the science used to find solutions to complex problems using mathematical analysis. By identifying, naming and classify problems, OR uncovers new methods of mathematically solving these problems by identifying their intrinsic complexity with the ultimate goal of finding better algorithms.

In other words, Altitude uses OR to develop airline solutions that solve complex crew management problems in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.
