- Ensuring that the OFP is delivered to flight crew within agreed timeframes along with all appropriate briefing materials (E.g., NOTAMs, SigWx charts, NAT Tracks, Volcanic Ash, etc). File the FPL with all relevant ANSPs and highlight any significant issues to the flight crew and brief them if required
- When required, provide in-flight support for company aircraft, including re-analysis of fuel critical scenarios, ETOPs alternates, and changes to the route, to aid the safe & efficient continuation of the flight
