A Flight Dispatcher is responsible for planning and monitoring the progress of aircraft journeys. Working closely with pilots and air traffic control, dispatchers ensure that flights depart and arrive safely by considering factors such as weather conditions, fuel requirements, and airspace restrictions. They create flight plans, check aircraft weight and balance, and update crews with critical information before and during flights. This role is essential for the smooth and safe operation of airline schedules and requires strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Flight dispatchers often work from an airline's operations centre or at the airport, and the job can be fast-paced, especially during peak travel times or adverse weather events.
