Purser/Manager onboard their corporate jet في Royal Jet
  • الإمارات العربية المتحدة - أبو ظبي
  • يونيو 2010 إلى نوفمبر 2013

Welcoming guests onboard and building personal relationships with our VVIP guests, anticipating their needs and providing the utmost comfort at all times. This included making informed decisions on catering orders all over the world to meet the clients’ expectations and keeping within budget constraints. Was requested by senior management to fly our most prestigious guests. Trained in safety and emergency procedures on Boeing Business Jet and Gulfstream 300 aircraft.
Onboard Coach
Approached by senior management to become Onboard Coach due to my outstanding levels of customer service skills and my ability to lead as part of the team.
• In my role as Onboard Coach I mentored the existing Pursers during flights and gave feedback to management. I also encouraged and supported new members of cabin crew during their first few months of flying, giving them the confidence to succeed.
• Participated in selecting new members of the cabin crew team in the recruitment process and then supporting them throughout their training, particularly focussing on their service skills.
• Trialled new products and services to ensure that these products suited the company’s corporate image and those services were up to the required standard so that the company stood out as a market leader.
Achievements
Due to my organisational skills and knowledge of the aviation industry this enabled me to ensure the brand values were upheld. Recognising this management asked me to help establish the Catering Service and Logistics Department. This involved developing menu options and liaising with local personnel to ensure that quality and budget were not compromised and the resulting selections were relayed to the Pursers.
