What does a ramp supervisor do?

A ramp supervisor oversees the operations of ramps at airports. As a ramp supervisor, your job duties include directing the loading and unloading of cargo or baggage into the aircraft, ensure the ramp is functioning properly, and check to make sure staff complies with all airport and government regulations. You find ramp supervisors at commercial, private, and military airports, but jobs are also available at independent air cargo companies. The qualifications to pursue a career as a ramp supervisor include an associate’s degree in airport operations management and several years of industry experience.
