Ground Support Technicians are specialized workers who maintain, repair, and operate equipment used to support aircraft operations on the ground. Their responsibilities include servicing ground support vehicles, ensuring the functionality of power units, tugs, and air conditioning carts, and troubleshooting technical issues to keep airport operations running smoothly. They play a crucial role in maximizing aircraft turnaround times and maintaining safety standards in airport environments.
