Flight Dispatch Zurich

Good Day Everyone
Has anybody heard of any developments in the Flight Dispatch job sector in LSZH.
Have been searching for a while but nothing positive at the moment.

Many Thanks for any input.

ExecuJet

Have just heard ExecuJet Zürich have released the complete Dispatch team, setting up in EGLC. Comlux also gone, setting up in Bahrain, hard times for Dispatchers in LSZH ahead.

Dispatch ZRH

AMAC is still looking, MS still does part-time there and at the BSL corporate "operation". It's going to get a little competive now given that the VCN lot are now all searching for new jobs.

ZRH had to 1st train the poms, I wonder if they will retain the CH AOC, I'm guessing yes as Enrique was retained (for now). There's no way I would engage the BH, TT has other non-aviation jobs in view.

CH AOC continues but will be run from the UK.
I guess there isn't really much in ZRH now in terms of dispatch jobs, huh.

I'm sorry to hear that dude.
Are you tied to ZRH? There's Rega and Swissjet still, not to mention Swiss (Air)...

SwissJet does not have a dispatch, they have it all done by Caeroscene in Austria. Excellent flight support company if you ask me.

Caeroscene does an excellent job compared to whom?? There's literally 100s of these service providers all banging on about how great (&cheap!) they are. IMHO any outsourced dispatch is incomparable to an "in-house" dispatch.

Not saying they do THE best job, but having seen a few (including theirs) dispatches work I can certainly say they do one hell of a better job than some in-house ones.

Anyway, apples and oranges - and way OT. Just voiced an opinion.

Thumbs up

@INNflight, you're absolutely spot on. I've also seen a few good ones turn bad and most fortunately also vice-versa. A sustained conscientious high quality output is not always garunteed whenever humans are involved

ExecuJet move to Cambridge

Hi guys, I have heard that they moved their EU Dispatch to the UK.

ExecuJet Europe to take a more prominent role in the UK - Cambridge Network

Labour in the UK is simply cheaper these days I guess.
