FLYHT's JumpSeat

🛩️ As travel opens up with pent up travel demand, airports and airlines are scrambling to take advantage and kickstart operations again. However, operators face the challenge of staffing shortage while also trying to balance their costs.
Welcome to this episode of the JumpSeat with our guest Dave Marcontell, Chief Operating Officer at Waltzing Matilda Aviation (WMA). In this episode, Dave shares WMA's new operations under Connect Airlines at Billy Bishop Airport in downtown Toronto with connections to multiple Northeast and Midwest cities. This is a strategic move for WMA to navigate the post-pandemic landscape and to provide a way for roar warriors to skip commute and delays with reliable and safe flights.
The industry is undoubtedly heading towards carbon neutrality and WMA is taking the initiative to be at the forefront of these changes. Beyond technical solutions that are capital and R&D intensive, data solutions are great tools that are easy to implement to enable your fuel initiatives by leveraging technology and automation for decision making awareness.
