Company Description: Jetport is a boutique business jet operator with more than 25 years of experience, offering charter, aircraft management, maintenance, and FBO services from its facility at Hamilton International Airport near Toronto, Canada. The company specializes in optimizing private aircraft operations, focusing on safety, efficiency, and reliability for business travelers. Its world-class maintenance team, secure aircraft ramp, and over 30,000 sq ft of heated hangar space support high standards of aircraft care and storage. Jetport’s executive FBO provides exceptional customer service and amenities such as private boardrooms, flight planning stations, and lounges to support both productivity and relaxation. Conveniently located less than an hour from Toronto, Jetport combines accessibility with a private, secure environment for crew and passengers.

- Work with pilots and the operations team to identify additional flight or charter opportunities.
- Monitor market conditions, peak travel periods, holidays and industry trends to identify potential opportunities.
- Resolve operational issues quickly and creatively while minimizing disruption to clients and flight operations.
- Maintain accurate information within company CRM and operational systems.
- Collaborate effectively with colleagues and provide clear handovers when work must be transferred between shifts or team members.
- Coordinate flight planning requirements to ensure each trip is properly prepared and executed.
Qualifications
- 1–2 years of previous experience in aviation operations, charter sales, private jet chartering, or a sophisticated/high-end customer service environment is preferred.
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Aviation Management, Sales, or a related field is considered an asset.
- Knowledge of flight planning principles, routing, schedules, and basic aviation regulations or willingness to learn quickly.
- Familiarity with aircraft types, operational considerations, and maintenance or FBO processes is an asset.
- Strong customer service skills, with a focus on client satisfaction, professionalism, and problem-solving under time pressure.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to interact effectively with clients, crew, and internal teams.
- Relevant experience in aviation operations, dispatch, or travel coordination; prior business aviation or FBO experience is an advantage.
