  • Equipment Operation: Safely operating heavy machinery, including belt loaders, tugs, baggage carts, and de-icing units.
  • Safety Compliance: Adhering to strict ramp safety protocols to prevent accidents, injuries, and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on the tarmac.
  • Logistics Sorting: Utilizing scanning technology to verify that every bag matches the correct flight manifest, preventing lost or misrouted luggage.
