Aircraft Ramp Agent - Etihad Airways

Overview

Etihad Airways requires dedicated Aircraft Ramp Agents to manage passenger baggage, operate ground support equipment, and ensure timely flight turnarounds at Zayed International Airport.

• Stack passenger luggage securely inside the narrow belly of the aircraft so the cargo weight remains perfectly balanced during the flight.
