About the role
This interview covers the safe and efficient running of airside and terminal operations across a shift. The panel is assessing whether you can control disruption, coordinate several organisations, use capacity well and lead duty teams with calm, documented decisions.
How to prepare
- Map the organisations involved in a major airport disruption and the decisions each one owns.
- Prepare examples of managing airside hazards, terminal congestion and equipment or utility failure.
- Review how you prioritise stands, gates, passenger flows and operational resources when capacity is tight.
- Practise giving a short operational briefing with facts, risks, actions and owners.
- Think through the data you would use for shift reviews and longer-term capacity planning.
Common mistakes
- Trying to solve a disruption before establishing safety, facts and decision authority.
- Assuming every stakeholder has received or understood an operational update.
- Allocating scarce capacity without stating transparent operational criteria.
- Discussing performance measures without showing how they changed daily decisions.
