Overview
In this role you will lead global network demand modelling and aviation cost methods to enable cost-efficient, resilient network design. You will partner with Aviation, Commercial, Network Planning, and Finance teams to shape strategy, governance, and roadmaps. You translate forecasts into actionable origin-destination scenarios and drive structural network changes that improve service and cost efficiency. This is a strategic, global leadership role with a focus on analytics, governance, and cross-functional impact.
