About the Role


Are you an experienced Licensed Aircraft Dispatcher ready to take control at the heart of an airline operation?

 

You will essentially be mandated for planning, monitoring and controlling flights to ensure the highest standards of safety, efficiency and operational performance. 

 

In this role, you will be responsible for creating optimised flight plans, analysing weather and operational constraints, and coordinating closely with flight crew, air traffic control and internal stakeholders to maximise safety, payload capability and commercial opportunity. 

 

You will exercise shared operational control with the commander, actively flight watch each service, and take informed operational decisions including delays, diversions and cancellations as required. 

 

When disruption occurs, you will manage, mitigate, and recover the situation, as well as lead recovery efforts to achieve the safest and most effective outcome, while maintaining strong collaboration within the IOCC and deputising for dispatch or network management when needed. 

 

Throughout, you will ensure full compliance with safety, health and environmental requirements and actively contribute to a strong safety culture.

 

If you thrive under pressure, think strategically, and never compromise on safety, this is your chance to help keep an airline moving.


About You


Degree qualified, you will demonstrate a minimum of 7 years exercising full operational control as a licensed dispatcher, preferably with demonstrated expertise in Trans‑Atlantic flight operations.

 

You are expected to have a GACA flight dispatch license or a recognised equivalent.
