FlightLOG Episode 6 - Flight Operations
04/27/23 • 13 min
Welcome to Episode 6 of FlightLOG, where this time we’re joined by Stewart Houston, Flight Operations Manager.
Stewart leads the team which provides technical advice that determines how many passengers can be carried on a particular flight and how much fuel will be required for that flight.
Essentially, they work out what Loganair can lift out of an airfield and into an airfield.
That requires a lot of very complex, and often very fast calculations, as well as a Plan A, B, C, D and occasionally, a few more.
Stewart and his team are Mathemagicians!
In our brand-new podcast series: FlightLOG, we go behind the scenes with the experts from the UK’s largest regional airline.
