About RDC Aviation

RDC Aviation is a leading provider of aviation data, analytics and software solutions.

• Develop dashboards to support analysis of RDC datasets.
• Provide monthly reporting on data quality findings.

• Assist in the processing and structuring of raw data submissions from operators for use in LOOP.
• Identify and flag data quality issues, working with data source providers to resolve discrepancies.

• Contribute to RDC newsletters, translating complex aviation data trends into accessible and engaging editorial content.
• Identify and develop data stories across RDC’s product families including LOOP, AirportCharges and Apex.
• Collaborate with product and commercial teams to align content output with go-to-market priorities.
