The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) honored Joy Buoncuore with the 2025 Schedulers & Dispatchers (S&D) Outstanding Achievement & Leadership Award last week at the 2025 Schedulers & Dispatchers Conference.  

Buoncuore is the supervisor of transportation scheduling for Constellation Energy, a role she has held since May 2024 after joining the company as a senior transportation scheduler in 2016. Her career, which began in 2000 at FlightSafety International, has spanned various roles, including pilot and maintenance training scheduler, FBO leader, and trainer for domestic and international airlines.

“Over the past eight years that I have worked with Joy, she has exemplified remarkable courage and adaptability at Constellation Energy,” said Brian Schuessler, director of transportation at Constellation Energy Generation. “Her innovative approach has delivered creative solutions that align with our commitment to safety and a development-centric work atmosphere.”

Buoncuore earned her FAA dispatcher certificate from FlightSafety in 2018, and she is an active member of the Delaware Valley Business Aviation Association, Women in Aviation International, Women in Corporate Aviation, PRIDE, and Women in Nuclear.

“I am honored to receive this recognition from my industry peers,” said Buoncuore. “I am committed to safety, empowering my team, enhancing operational excellence, and bridging the gap between technology and efficient operations.”  

Established in 2008, the S&D Outstanding Achievement & Leadership Award recognizes individuals who demonstrate extraordinary leadership and contributions to scheduling and dispatch functions.
