airport baggage handler

In the airline industry, a baggage handler is a person who loads and unloads baggage (suitcases or luggage), and other cargo (airfreight, mail, counter-to-counter packages) for transport via aircraft. With most airlines, the formal job title is "fleet service agent/clerk", though the position is commonly known amongst airline employees as a ramp agent, due to the job's location on the airport ramp (tarmac), although that position may be separate than a baggage handler due to the proximity on the ramp.
