Any Advice?
Hi
I was just about to post a similar topic so I will add a few other things if that’s ok.
I am trying to get work in ops/despatch and am trying to get together information to help me on my way. I have searched the forum etc but need to tie up a few loose ends:
- Am I correct in thinking that generally airlines do not handle their own flights but employ people like Servisair and Aviance to do it for them?
- Do any airlines employ their own despatchers? I have looked at a few airline websites but the only vacancies are ever ticketing, check-in or pilots.
- I am registered with aviationjosearch but all the vacancies they send me require previous experience in ops (which I don’t have). How can I get in?!
- I have read that Servisair etc provide training, so I assume it is best to apply to them directly. Are there any other handling companies other than those I have mentioned; particularly at Heathrow or Gatwick?
I do have a basic knowledge about what goes on at airports and have nearly finished my PPL but nothing in the way of work experience.
Any help would be very gratefully received.
