Hiring - Chief Dispatcher

Post by tbaylx »

CHIEF DISPATCHER – EDMONTON, ALBERTA

Flair Airlines is Canada’s only independent low fare airline. Headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, our mission is to disrupt our industry by making air travel accessible, affordable and desirable for all. As important as our low fares are, we also recognize that our real product is our people – it’s the way we treat our customers on each and every flight that sets us apart from “those other airlines” and keeps them coming back.

Flair is a different kind of airline. We believe in air travel for all. That’s why we’re on a mission to make it more accessible, more affordable and more desirable. We’re in it for the people. And we need dedicated, creative and impactful leaders to make it happen. We need passion, pride and personality. Because it’s not just a journey we’re embarking on, it’s an adventure.

Based in Edmonton, the Chief Dispatcher is a key member of our Operations team with responsibility for oversight for the Flight Dispatch department. The Chief Dispatcher is responsible for ensuring the Flight Dispatch team has the tools and resources to operate safely, efficiently and with cost-effective methods, while trying to maintain optimal on-time performance.

We are looking for a courageous and adaptable leader who will positively contribute to our dynamic culture. We believe that if our people enjoy doing their jobs, our passengers are much more likely to enjoy their travelling experience.

• Oversee the effective production, filing and communications of flight plans and briefings of required stakeholders and operating crews in a timely manner;
• Manage team of dispatchers, coach, mentor and address individual performance issues as necessary.
