- Manage close in schedule changes ensuring these are communicated to key stakeholders accurately and timely, for loading into the selling system
- Meet predetermined deadlines for the delivery of detailed schedule data to internal and external customers ensuring accuracy of the information provided
- Develop schedule recommendations to resolve short term capacity limitations or needs including charter requests and ensure ad-hoc variations as required
- Collaborate with key operational stakeholders assessing any implications from feedback received on proposed plans
- Ensure an up-to-date summary of existing planning parameters across all schedule/operational dimensions and any proposed changes are made with consideration to both operational resilience and strategic/financial implications
- Work collaboratively with Network Operations and Flight Operations to maintain healthy OTP (on time performance), whilst balancing commercial priorities
- Coach team members to assist in their learning and development
