In my current Operations Control Center role, I manage business aviation operations supporting Falcon 7X flights, including operational control, flight planning, and flight watch.

I also coordinate international trip support and service providers, prepare E-API and General Declarations, and monitor weather, NOTAMs, operational risks, and regulatory requirements.

At Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), I controlled domestic and international flight operations, prepared operational flight plans and dispatch releases, and managed flight following using ACARS and ADS-B. I also handled IROPS and operational recovery.

Earlier, I supported scheduled airline, ground handling, VVIP, charter, and ACMI operations. I hold FAA and Pakistan CAA aircraft dispatcher licenses and have training in ARINCDirect and ForeFlight Dispatch.
