Dublin, Jan. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Airline Route Planning Software Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The airline route planning software market has experienced significant expansion, projected to grow from $8.36 billion in 2025 to $9.04 billion by 2026, registering a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. This growth is attributed to advancements in early flight scheduling, optimization tools, fuel efficiency analysis, and weather data integration. The market is expected to accelerate further, reaching $12.27 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.9%, bolstered by real-time data analytics, AI-driven predictive route planning, and integration with cloud platforms. Key trends include the rising demand for fuel-efficiency tools, collaborative planning systems, and mobile-based management interfaces.
The market’s expansion is closely linked to the increasing demand for air travel, reinforcing the critical role of airline route planning software. As of September 2023, the International Air Transport Association reported a 26.2% rise in total air traffic in July 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, with foreign traffic surging by 29.6%. This heightened demand necessitates robust software solutions for optimizing flight routes, boosting fleet efficiency, and enhancing cost-to-revenue performance.
Prominent industry players are leveraging satellite-based flight tracking data to maintain a competitive edge. Companies like Cirium have developed tools that utilize this data for accurate assessment of aircraft demand and network growth. In March 2023, Cirium launched a new airline routes tool, enhancing the precision of data analytics for optimal route planning.
Strategic partnerships are also shaping the industry landscape. Riyadh Air’s collaboration with Sabre Corporation, announced in February 2024, aims to enhance operational efficiency through Sabre’s AirVision technology, epitomizing the strategic efforts to achieve world-class operational standards.
The market’s competitive environment includes major players such as The Boeing Company, Airbus SE, Honeywell International, and Sabre. Despite North America’s dominance in 2025, regions including Asia-Pacific and Europe are witnessing rapid adoption due to evolving trade relations and tariff impacts.
The dynamic global trade environment, notably tariffs, is affecting the market by increasing costs for essential hardware and cloud infrastructures. This situation both challenges and stimulates the sector by prompting domestic software initiatives and regional data-center expansions.
