• Track inbound Atlas or partner flights from Asia carrying cargo transshipping in Miami for South America-bound connections, promote clear visibility of transfer timing, documentation, and build-up sequencing.
• Identify potential misconnects or disruptions; analyze and map out plans on whether to hold, rebook, or reroute shipments based on service commitments and revenue potential.
• Coordinate, communicate and respond to the Ground Operations team, Sales team, and station staff to ensure real-time load adjustments are accurately executed. Serve as a liaison between local cargo sales team and ground handling agents to facilitate late inflow of standby cargo for filling voids.

Performance Tracking, Optimization and Reporting

• Monitor load factors and allocations using internal and external data sources and dashboards, to ensure maximization of utilization of aircraft capacity – optimal volume/density mix.
• Produce analysis to support capacity management recommendations to optimize load/yield/volume and prioritize cargo,
• Tactically plan pallet position and ULD utilization for Miami–SAMER flights, identifying underused positions and backfill opportunities.
• Produce daily flight utilization dashboards/reports for South America network, highlighting load factors, offload causes, voids, and yield performance.
• Generate transshipment reports for Asia–Miami–SAMER traffic, tracking volumes, connection rates, and missed opportunities.

Commercial and Operational Collaboration

• Liaise and coordinate between Network Planning, Sales, and Ground Operations, and Station Atlas reps/Ground Handling Agents to ensure alignment on capacity management, space allocation and pallet build-up issues.
• Awareness and monitoring of Block Space Agreements (BSAs) and high-priority customer commitments for Miami–SAMER vv markets.

Transshipment Coordination

• Work on tasks at each point of the lifecycle of transshipment cargo connecting in Miami, ensuring transfer of Asia-origin ULDs onto southbound flights.
• Utilize AIMS, Hawk, and other systems to track inbound and outbound shipments, ensuring transfer information (pallet position, routing, and priority) is received prior to departure.
• Work closely with Atlas Air’s Asia-origin stations, Miami ground handling teams, and South America destination stations to minimize dwell time and maximize connection success.
