MAIN OBJECTIVE OF ROLE
To maximize fleet value by optimizing Cost per Available Seat Kilometer (CASK), aircraft utilization, operational introduction and lifecycle performance across all operated fleets (737, 787), by managing key fleet cost drivers such as modification programs, BFE agreements, maintenance contracts, and utilization efficiency through structured SLA and KPI analysis, and ensures effective governance of contractual performance guarantees and deliverables across operational agreements, while leading operational project execution with strong cost control, disciplined oversight, operational performance and delivery within agreed timelines.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Establishes processes for analyzing CASK at an aircraft level across all fleets, establishing a baseline cost per fleet.
• Evaluates changes to baseline costs resulting from modification programmes, system changes, network planning data and new contracts.
• Ensures that existing contracts for OEM, BFE & Maintenance Services are performing in accordance with expectations, SLAs and performance guarantees.
• Establishes structured framework for contract management over the lifecycle in order to ensure compliance against scope, ensure that objectives are clearly understood and enforce contract adherence
