What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Hourly Ramp Agent, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Hourly Ramp Agent, you need physical stamina, attention to detail, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with ground support equipment, baggage handling systems, and safety protocols is typically required, and OSHA or airport safety certifications can be advantageous.

Their duties include loading and unloading baggage, guiding planes in and out of gates, operating ground support equipment, and ensuring the safe and timely movement of aircraft.
