Aviation Manager

What does a aviation manager do?

There are many careers in aviation beyond being a Pilot. Australian airlines require all kinds of professionals, from Aircraft Navigators to Flight Coordinators, to Airworthiness Inspectors. There are those in the control towers managing air traffic; others completing pre-flight checks; and some providing flight information to crews and air traffic services staff. As an Aviation Manager, you would oversee a wide range of professionals and tasks, including aircraft scheduling, flight plans, maintenance, and crew management. Careers in aviation can involve working in a range of places including airports, airlines or organisations that support the aviation industry and regulatory bodies.
