• ULD build-up - plan ULD build-up efficiently and in line with IATA rules and internal quality standards, set build-up priorities during irregularities, and issue build-up lists, documentation and labeling.
• Documentation & positioning - determine ULD positions with the flight operator and issue/distribute the flight manifest to all internal and external parties.

Reporting & Scope

• Internal stakeholders: OCFO/GSSA teams, Airfreight, Sales, Management, Finance
• External stakeholders: MAC, suppliers, third-party agents, charter operators

Key Metrics

Bottom Line

The role sits at the intersection of commercial yield optimization and physical load planning - it needs both analytical and hands-on operational strength. Its leverage point is the <24-hour pre-departure window, where booking mix decisions directly drive load factor and yield. Despite no direct reports, influence is high: the role coordinates across five internal functions and four external partner groups.
