About the role

As Manager, Crew Planning & Rostering you plan and roster our flight and cabin crew — building legal, efficient rosters that meet the schedule, optimise utilisation and comply with Flight Time Limitations — reporting to the Manager, Operations Control Centre (OCC) and leading a small, high-productivity team.

What you'll do

  • Produce and publish flight and cabin crew rosters that cover the schedule and comply with FTL and the Operations Manual.
  • Own crew planning — establishment, leave, training and standby — and forecast crew needs against schedule and fleet.
  • Optimise crew utilisation, productivity and cost while protecting fatigue management and wellbeing.
  • Manage roster changes, disruption and standby call-out in coordination with the OCC.
  • Operate and optimise the crew-planning / rostering system with new-age, data-driven tools.

  • Proven experience in airline crew planning and rostering, ideally with a regional operator.
  • Strong knowledge of FTL, fatigue management and rostering rules (CAR OPS-1 Subpart Q).
  • Command of crew-planning / rostering systems (e.g. AIMS-type) and data-driven optimisation.
  • Analytical and detail-focused, balancing legality, efficiency and crew wellbeing.
  • Comfortable building and leading a small, high-productivity team.

What will set you apart

  • Turbo-prop (e.g. ATR) and Middle East / GCC rostering experience.
  • Experience with roster optimisation and crew-cost management.
  • Experience coordinating with an OCC during disruption.
