Responsible for maintaining and building a freighter fleet deployment scenario whilst balancing the cargo network and incorporating belly network development and capacity changes.

**What you will do**:

- Initiate research and analyse data to identify cargo market growth and business opportunities, in order to establish the business objectives in respect of freighter network development requirements, to achieve unrestrained growth.
