Abu Dhabi, UAE
Etihad Airways, the UAE's national carrier currently executing its ambitious Journey 2030 growth strategy, is looking for a Guest Transport Planner to lead planning, control, and optimization of its guest transportation operations. The role bridges strategy and execution, translating demand forecasts into capacity plans while managing vendor performance and ensuring a premium end-to-end guest experience.
What The Role Covers
Demand Forecasting & Capacity Planning
You develop demand forecasts using analytical data, flight schedules, marketing trends, and historical patterns, translating them into optimized transportation schedules and capacity plans. You proactively identify and mitigate capacity risks before they impact service delivery.
Real-Time Operations Control
You monitor daily transportation operations, proactively resolving capacity gaps, delays, and service disruptions. You coordinate response to irregular operations and anticipate risks across the network to maintain service continuity.
Vendor Management & SLA Performance
You actively manage vendor performance, ensuring SLA compliance across on-time performance, service quality, and responsiveness. You drive corrective actions when deviations occur and maintain strong relationships through regular reviews with internal and external stakeholders.
Reporting & Continuous Improvement
You produce and analyze operational reports to enable data-driven decisions, track KPIs, and implement improvements that enhance both service efficiency and guest experience quality.
Candidate Profile
This is an unusual planning role that sits at the crossroads of supply chain planning methodology and aviation guest services — a niche that is genuinely rare in the GCC. The demand forecasting and capacity planning dimension gives it real analytical substance, while the vendor management and real-time operations control aspects add operational depth. As highlighted in our earlier Etihad listing, compensation packages at the airline typically include tax-free salary, housing allowance, flight benefits, and medical coverage, making the total package significantly more attractive than the base figure alone.
