Air Transat Careers: Manager Scheduling and Slot Management

Air Transat is currently advertising a Manager, Scheduling and Slot Management position through Transat’s official SmartRecruiters system. The page is live and shows an I’m interested application action.

The job is permanent full time with a hybrid arrangement and a fixed 37.5-hour Monday-to-Friday schedule.

The manager helps develop and optimize Air Transat’s flight schedule in the short and medium term and makes sure the schedule is operationally feasible when aircraft, crews, maintenance, airport constraints and commercial needs are considered together.

Opportunity Overview

Airline schedules are affected by network strategy, airport slots, aircraft availability, crew requirements, maintenance and irregular operations. This role sits at the centre of those dependencies.

The manager works on both seasonal planning and shorter-term adjustments and also supports codeshare and interline schedule management.

Available Position

• Position: Manager, Scheduling and Slot Management
• Employer: Air Transat / Transat A.T.
• Employment: Permanent Full Time
• Work Arrangement: Hybrid
• Schedule: 37.5 hours/week, Monday-Friday

Key Responsibilities

The manager participates in design of summer and winter flight schedules with Network Development and maintains schedules in an airline scheduling tool such as NetLine.

The role coordinates schedule adjustments and communicates them to internal and external stakeholders. Codeshare and interline schedule changes are also managed.

Airport slots are planned and optimized according to IATA standards and local rules. The manager works with operations teams to integrate aircraft, crew, maintenance and airport constraints.

Short-term operational feasibility also matters. Rotations, block times, connections and overall performance can need adjustment when disruptions such as delays, aircraft-on-ground events or maintenance issues occur.

Who Can Apply?

The employer asks for a relevant degree in air transport management, logistics, business administration or a related field and at least five years of airline-industry experience in planning, scheduling or airline operations.

Candidates need strong adaptability, attention to detail, communication and priority management. Knowledge of airline operational systems and analytical tools is required.

Technology and Language

Advanced Microsoft Office capability is expected, together with comfort using collaborative digital tools and AI tools such as Copilot.

Fluency in both French and English is required because the role communicates frequently with colleagues, customers and stakeholders in Quebec and internationally.
