Ever Consider a Career as an Airline Dispatcher?

If you have a passion for aviation, you might want to consider a job as an airline dispatcher, definitely one of the most exciting and best paying jobs in the airline industry.

What does an airline dispatcher do? You will work in an airline’s Operations Centrol Center, making decisions and sharing responsibility with an airline captain regarding daily flight operations.  You are like the “captain on the ground,” planning flights, considering the weather, aircraft maintenance, airport navigational facilities etc. You may cancel or delay flights to ensure the safety of each flight. You will work in a central office that controls all the flights for your airline.  You would, indeed, be a very important person in the operation of an airline.

It pays great too, up to USD $80,000 each year with experience. And airlines all over the world are looking for dispatchers.

You have to be qualified, of course, and be well trained.
