In the Peruvian rainforest, Repsol depends on helicopters to move both people and cargo to production sites and project locations. Each flight has to navigate a complex set of constraints: cargo size and weight, dedicated crew requirements, dependencies with fixed-wing flights and river barges, and maintenance windows.

Traditionally, flight planning was done manually and reactively. This limited visibility into trade-offs, created inefficiencies, and made it difficult to manage the added complexity of cargo handling. Fuel costs and emissions were higher than necessary, while planners struggled to test different scenarios quickly.
