• Status (Full time/part time/contract): Full time

JOB DESCRIPTION:

Scheduling Analyst

As a Scheduling Analyst, you will support the development and optimization of AirAsia’s and/or AirAsia X’s flight schedules by translating complex scheduling strategies, operational constraints, and network objectives into clear, data-driven insights and executive ready presentations.

This role is hands on and analytical, with a strong focus on slide creation, workflow documentation, data interpretation, and cross-functional coordination. You will act as a key bridge between technical scheduling outputs and business stakeholders across the organization.

WHAT YOU’LL CHAMPION:

Schedule Analysis & Strategy Translation

• Analyze short-term and long-term flight schedules for operational feasibility, efficiency, and alignment with network and commercial objectives.

• Convert technical scheduling concepts (aircraft routings, turn times, buffers, curfews, utilization, constraints) into clear decks, visuals, and narratives for management and cross functional teams.

• Support scenario analysis for fleet changes, network adjustments, special events, and disruptions.

Data Interpretation & Insights

• Interpret scheduling, utilization, and performance data to identify risks, opportunities, and trade offs.

• Develop dashboards, charts, and summaries to support decision-making on schedule changes, aircraft deployment, and operational priorities.

• Assist in revenue supportive analysis by aligning schedules with demand patterns, seasonality, holidays, and special events.

• Document and maintain scheduling workflows, assumptions, timelines, and dependencies across planning horizons.

• Support the transition of schedules from planning to execution by ensuring accuracy, version control, and alignment across systems and stakeholders.

• Assist in post-implementation reviews to capture learnings and improve future schedule builds.

• Support the uploading, validation, and updating of schedules in the Schedule Manager (Navitaire New Skies).

• Coordinate closely with the Preflight and OCC teams during schedule changes and rescheduling activities to ensure data consistency and operational readiness.

• Act as a coordination point between Scheduling and key stakeholders including: Network Planning, Route Revenue & Commercial, OCC, Flight Operations, Engineering, Regulatory, Ancillary, Marketing

• Ensure schedule changes, assumptions, and impacts are clearly communicated and understood across teams.
   

• Prepare management ready presentations for internal reviews, planning forums, and decision gates.

• Support clear communication of schedule intent, constraints, and trade-offs to both technical and non technical audiences.

• Ensure alignment and transparency across departments on upcoming schedule changes.

WHO YOU ARE:

Analytical & Detail-Driven

• You have strong analytical skills and are comfortable working with complex datasets, schedules, and operational constraints.

• You spot inconsistencies quickly and care deeply about accuracy and logic.

• You can turn technical detail into simple, compelling slides that executives actually understand.

• You’re confident explaining “why” behind the numbers, not just presenting them.

• You have 2-5 years of experience in airline planning, scheduling, network, operations, or a related analytical role.

• You understand how scheduling decisions impact revenue, operations, and customer experience even if you’re not the final decision maker. Not a must but good to have.

• You’re comfortable juggling multiple timelines, versions, and stakeholders without dropping the ball.

• You like building structures where things are messy.

• You work well across departments and can hold your own with Network, OCC, Engineering, and Commercial teams.

• You stay calm under pressure and adapt quickly when plans change (because they always do).

• You operate with integrity, transparency, and respect for governance, regulatory, and safety requirements.

WHERE YOU’LL GO:

This role gives you end to end exposure to airline scheduling decisions, how data becomes strategy, and how strategy becomes an operating schedule.

Senior Scheduling Analyst
