    This role is similar to positions such as dispatch coordinator, logistics coordinator, or operations specialist in other industries.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Coordinate and schedule flights based on customer needs, aircraft availability, and crew schedules
    • Act as the primary point of contact between pilots, customers, maintenance teams, and internal departments
    • Monitor multiple communication channels (phone, email, internal systems) and prioritize tasks in real time
    • Track flight activity and proactively address delays, changes, or operational challenges
    • Provide timely updates and high-quality service to customers throughout the flight process
    • Identify opportunities to enhance service, including schedule adjustments or additional flight needs
    • Ensure all trip details are accurate, documented, and communicated clearly
    • Maintain detailed records of flight schedules, communications, and operational updates
    • Collaborate with internal teams to resolve issues quickly and keep operations running efficiently

    What We're Looking For

    We welcome candidates from a variety of backgrounds, especially those with experience in:

    • Customer service in fast-paced environments
    • Trucking and logistics coordination
    • Airline or airport operations
    • Dispatch or scheduling roles

    Key skills and traits:

    • Ability to process information coming from multiple sources at once
    • Strong organizational and time-management skills
    • Clear and professional communication (written and verbal)
    • Comfort working in time-sensitive, rapidly changing situations
    • Problem-solving mindset with a focus on solutions
    • Customer-first attitude with the ability to build trust and relationships
    • Experience with scheduling, dispatching, or coordinating operations is highly preferred
