Their responsibilities include coordinating ramp operations and aircraft movement via radio, fueling, towing aircraft, operating ground support equipment, reporting malfunctions and keeping the airport operational.

Line Technician

Airport line technicians have many job responsibilities but their main goal is to make sure aircraft is safe for flying.

Direct Aircraft

An airport line technician is responsible for guiding, towing, parking, greeting and organizing aircraft that's arriving or departing from an airport gate or ramp.

Maintenance and Fuel

A line technician monitors fuel levels, oil levels, performs quality control checks and maintenance to make sure flying is handled safely and efficiently. He's also reporting any visible damage to aircraft and checking aircraft lights and water supplies.

Terminals

Airport line technicians help with the upkeep of terminals, hangars and airport grounds. They make sure terminals are litter-free, clean, safe and organized. Technicians also maintain aircraft hangars so planes can be parked or stored over night or for longer periods of time. During bad weather, line technicians help maintain walkways and steps so passengers have a safe route to and from aircraft and they also help de-ice aircraft. They must immediately report suspicious activity in terminals, including unattended baggage, to security.

Customer Service

Part of a line technicians job is to help with customer service needs. For example, line technicians often handle luggage, provide transportation between gates or terminals, give passengers directions, interact with lobby attendants, converse with pilots and greet passengers who are entering or exiting terminals. Line technicians must have a kind and friendly disposition that makes passengers feel welcome, safe and comfortable with the airport facilities, staff and aircraft.
