Skills and specializations
Useful depth includes aircraft marshalling signals, ramp safety, radio use, follow-me vehicle operation, air traffic communication, hazard identification and pre-movement checks.
Salary context
For aircraft marshalling, pay depends on airside safety responsibility, shift pattern, traffic intensity, radio duties, follow-me vehicle use and how much independent judgement is expected on the ramp.
Career paths
Experience can lead toward ramp coordination, aircraft turnaround supervision, airside operations, safety inspection, ground handling training or specialist vehicle duties.
