International Flight Coordinator | Part 135 | Remote (United States) | Full-time

Pacific Coast Jet is dedicated to delivering flexible and affordable private air travel, emphasizing exceptional personalized service. With a focus on exceeding client expectations, the company takes a customized approach to ensure each flight is tailored to individual needs. Pacific Coast Jet combines the convenience of private flying with a commitment to outstanding customer satisfaction, creating a premier travel experience for its clients.

The Flight Coordinator plans, coordinates, and monitors all aspects of company flight operations to ensure safe, efficient, and seamless execution of every mission — including complex international and long-range large-cabin trips. This role is the central point of communication between flight crews, clients, aircraft owners, maintenance, vendors, and internal teams, delivering high-quality service while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational excellence.

Demonstrated hands-on international flight coordination experience is required for this position. Candidates without direct international operational experience will not be considered.

This position performs functions commonly associated with flight coordination and operational support. It is not an FAA-certificated Aircraft Dispatcher position and does not exercise operational control. Operational control remains with the individuals designated by the Company in accordance with its FAA-approved/accepted manuals and Operations Specifications.

This is a remote position supporting a 24/7 operation. Candidates must reside in the United States and be authorized to work in the U.S. The role requires flexibility to cover multiple shifts, including weekends and holidays. Because international operations routinely occur outside normal U.S. business hours, availability during nights and irregular hours is required. Candidates must have a reliable home workspace, dependable high-speed internet, and a quiet environment suitable for sustained voice communication with crews, clients, and international service providers.
