A flight dispatcher, sometimes called an airline operations officer, plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient running of airline flights. They are responsible for planning flight paths, accounting for weather, aircraft performance, and airspace restrictions. Dispatchers work closely with pilots, air traffic controllers, and ground staff to ensure flights leave and arrive on time, and they help manage any disruptions, such as adverse weather or technical issues. The role requires strong attention to detail, the ability to make quick decisions under pressure, and excellent communication skills. Training is usually provided by airlines, and some may require candidates to have previous experience in aviation or a related field.
