John Reil Pisco
Flight Dispatcher and Flight Operations Coordinator specializing in international business aviation
Pisco, United Arab Emirates
I am a Flight Dispatcher and Flight Operations Coordinator with 10+ years of aviation operations experience across business aviation, trip support, airport operations, and flight dispatch environments in the UAE and the Philippines. I coordinate complex international missions while ensuring regulatory compliance, smooth execution, and high-touch customer service for executive and charter operations. In my recent role as a Flight Dispatcher and Flight Operations Officer, I manage daily dispatch and operational support, build flight plans and operational documentation, monitor flight movements, and coordinate with airports, handlers, and service providers to keep missions on track. Before that, at Jetex Flight Support, I led end-to-end operational support, including overflight and landing permits, slot coordination, ground handling arrangements, fuel release coordination, and VIP and crew support across multiple regions. I bring strong stakeholder management, operational problem-solving, and a calm, safety-minded approach to crisis response and operational recovery. I also support continuous improvement through clear reporting, procedural compliance, and mentoring as needed, grounded in hands-on experience from dispatch through airport operations and turnaround coordination.
