The job

Flight Operations Assistants help ensure the safe movement of aircraft at our airfields. You’ll be supporting flying operations in station or squadron ‘ops rooms’ and from control towers at RAF airfields. There you’ll use the latest technology to update aeronautical data, provide information for mission and flight planning and assist Air Traffic Controllers in their work. As a Flight Operations Assistant you could progress to a management position at a flying station in the UK or overseas, with the UK search and rescue organisation or at our air traffic control centres. It’s a job that calls for a cool head, a clear voice and the ability to work successfully under pressure as a crucial member of the team.
