Cargo Ramp Agents also operate ground support equipment and may assist with marshaling aircraft, maintaining communication with flight crews, and handling special cargo.

Familiarity with ground support equipment, barcode scanners, and airport logistics software is typically required. Strong teamwork, time management, and clear communication are crucial for efficient coordination and handling of cargo under tight deadlines. These skills ensure the safe, timely, and accurate movement of goods, which is vital to airport and airline operations.
