What is a tower agent?

Tower agents are airport ground staff responsible for coordinating aircraft movements on the ground, particularly around gates, ramps, and taxiways. They work closely with pilots, air traffic controllers, and other ground crew to ensure safe, efficient, and timely arrivals and departures. Tower agents handle communication between the aircraft and airport operations, assist with gate assignments, and help manage unexpected issues like delays or gate changes. Their role is crucial in maintaining airport safety and operational flow.
