Manager Operations Planning

Coordinate airline operational initiatives including new station start-ups, ACMI operational readiness, aircraft introductions, foreign and local regulatory compliance, and ad-hoc operational projects. Support operational efficiency and cost-saving initiatives by contributing to cross-functional projects, assessing operational impacts, and implementing agreed changes that deliver measurable cost or efficiency benefits without compromising safety or regulatory compliance. Ensure seasonal operational readiness by completing schedule block analysis, reviewing historical connectivity and hub performance data, and implementing risk mitigation actions ahead of each operating season to protect on-time performance and minimize disruption to day-to-day operations. Develop and maintain Operations Planning processes and procedures by establishing documented standards, workflows, and governance controls, and reviewing compliance at least annually, ensuring consistent, controlled, and audit-ready execution across the department. Deliver aircraft and port introduction and exit projects for passenger and cargo operations by managing day-to-day operational planning activities, milestones, and dependencies, ensuring all safety, operational, regulatory, and financial risks are identified, assessed, and mitigated prior to operational launch or exit. Bachelor's degree minium education level, preferably in Aviation management and project management would be an advantage. Previous management experience within the Airline business in planning or a major operational department is essential, preferably 7 years' experience.
