Support the opening of new stations, including operational planning, staffing, and team member recruitment.

Partner with airline operations, airport authorities, government agencies, and internal corporate teams to support smooth day-to-day operations.

Monitor operational processes, analyze reports and metrics, and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and guest experience.

Oversee budgeting, staffing, and resource allocation for station operations.

Foster a guest-focused culture that supports a positive and seamless experience for all guests.

What you’ll need

  • Minimum of 3-5 years in a leadership role managing a diverse team.
  • At least 5 years of airline operations experience.
  • Knowledge of the aviation industry and airport operating environment.
  • Ability to read, write, speak, and understand English, including operational and regulatory documents.
