The dispatcher makes all the necessary flight plans for the safety of the flights and follows them throughout the flight. Informing the flight crew in order to ensure the safe and effective continuation of the flight in the light of the request of the responsible pilot at any stage of the flight or in the light of the information received, monitoring the flight in order to transfer the information about the flight to the necessary units, ensuring that the emergency (sabotage, etc.) information is transmitted to the necessary units. A dispatcher is a person licensed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. Dispatchers ensure that aircraft are prepared for take-off as quickly and safely as possible. They assist in bringing together all of the different operations and services associated with the flight preparation of any aircraft at the right time to allow that aircraft to take off at its allotted time.


Dispatchers follow up the activities including cleaning, refueling, baggage and cargo loading, and establish close relationships with and act with cabin crew and aircraft technicians to make sure they are ready for take-off. They utilize a wide array of technologies, from operational planning tools to electronic systems, to maintain contact with all of the different service providers. Since the flights will be carried out at all hours of the day, it requires a shift work system. Flight dispatchers can find jobs in the representation/supervision companies of passenger and cargo airlines.
