The Airline Group of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (AGIFORS) is a professional society formed in 1960 dedicated to the advancement and application of Operational Research and other decision support technologies within the airline industry.
Today, the annual Airline Operations and Maintenance conference is the largest independent non-commercial airline operations conference in the world, bringing together airline operations, software vendors, and academic professionals. The 2025 conference in Doha had 150 delegates representing 31 airlines from 25 countries.
Mike Irrgang has been involved with AGIFORS since 1987. As a vice president of Air Jamaica, he hosted the conference in Ocho Rios, Jamaica in 2001. He has been the co-chairman and organizer of the conference since 2019. The membership consists of Operational Research professional employed by recognized civil airlines and related industries and correspondents keenly interested in the application of Operational Research to aviation problems.
