Groupe Dubreuil Air Division partners with IBS Software to digitally transform operations and crew management across its airline brands

PARIS, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Three companies owned by groupe Dubreuil - French bee, Air Caraïbes, and Air Caraïbes Atlantique, have selected IBS Software to transform flight operations and crew management, through its iFlight Core solution.

The partnership with IBS Software, a leading SaaS solutions provider to the travel industry globally, will see this airline group replace their fragmented legacy IT infrastructure with the integrated, cloud-based iFlight Core platform. They will unify operations across both regional and long-haul operations, spanning the USA, Indian Ocean, Pacific, French West indies and more largely the Caribbean regions. Air Caraïbes and French bee will be among Europe's first multi-AOC airlines to deploy unified, AI enhanced operations management, at scale.

The implementation of advanced crew planning tools will boost operational stability across all three companies. The solution will also enable data-driven decision making, and shall enhance satisfaction for pilots, cabin crew and controllers operating across multiple time zones and operational models.

Through iFlight Core, IBS Software will deliver an integrated, expandable platform built on modern cloud architecture. The system's comprehensive API framework enables seamless connectivity with Air Caraïbes and French bee's ecosystem partners ensuring optimal compatibility throughout the airline group's operations.

The solution's open architecture specifically supports Air Caraïbes and French bee's hybrid operational model, accommodating both leg-based and pairing-based crew planning approaches across their diverse route networks, from short-haul Caribbean routes to long-haul transoceanic operations.

"Pooling flight operations and crew management across French bee, Air Caraïbes, and Air Caraïbes Atlantique through a single, modern platform represents a strategic milestone in our digital transformation journey," states Paul-Henri Dubreuil, Chairman of the Board at groupe Dubreuil and at Groupe Dubreuil Aero. "IBS Software's collaborative approach and iFlight Core's ability to integrate with specialized eco-system partners shall give us the flexibility to optimize operations while maintaining the distinct characteristics that make each of our airlines successful."

"Our partnership with the airlines of Group Dubreuil Aero demonstrates how modern, unified solutions can serve complex, multi-airline operations across diverse markets," commented Ben Simmons, SVP and Regional Head Europe & Africa at IBS Software. "Supporting airlines such as French bee and Air Caraïbes aiming to enhance their crew efficiency, reduce operational costs and increase competitiveness with iFlight Core is a privilege for us."

This partnership marks a significant milestone for iFlight Core's market expansion, and the second major European airline group partnership.

iFlight Core is the first purpose-built platform targeted at agile, resource-efficient small and mid-sized airlines, delivering measurable value and preparing carriers for a future of intelligent, data-driven processes.
