• Xander Bremer, vice president of flight operation, transavia.com
  

  "Kronos AD OPT has been responsive and supportive throughout the selection process. With manual or simplified planning tools, we were not able to optimally generate schedules that meet airline requirements while ensuring that crewmembers are being treated equally. With the Kronos AD OPT solution, crewmembers will be able to voice their personal scheduling preferences and develop their own schedules with regard to their leave while keeping in accordance with company objectives."

• Tom Ivaskiv, vice president and general manager, AD OPT, a division of Kronos
  

  "Kronos AD OPT crew planning solutions are built to balance operational constraints while incorporating a wide range of crew requests, helping airlines streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve crew member quality of life. We look forward to helping transavia.com with our optimization technology to improve crew satisfaction while enhancing operational efficiency."
