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

Benefits:
  • Medical/Dental/Vision/Life/Disability Insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid holidays and PTO accrual
