Scheduling

Significant logistical planning is necessary for the safe and efficient operation of business aircraft. There are complex and shifting schedules that need to be accommodated and multiple requests that need to be met, not to mention regulatory requirements, weather considerations, and even air traffic control variables. With all of these issues demanding attention, many companies have chosen to employ a scheduler or dispatcher.

Schedulers and dispatchers are often referred to by a number of other titles – flight coordinators and trip specialists, among others. Regardless of the title – or whether or not there is a designated, full-time employee for scheduling duties – those who do coordinate business aircraft travel schedules must have a unique knowledge and skill set that allows them to sift through the details and help companies manage travel effectively.
