This logistics professional is responsible for loading and unloading baggage in the aircraft hold, but also for its transfer during a stopover. This is a sensitive mission that must be carried out within the flight schedule. The challenge is to guarantee customer satisfaction while complying with specific air safety regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The duties of the airport baggage handler :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to recover the users\u2019 luggage after their check-in and the X-ray scan verified by the security agent;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; distribute the luggage and ensure that it is directed to the right aircraft, not only to avoid sending the luggage halfway around the world, but also for security reasons, airports being particularly sensitive places;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; to take care of parcels posted as fragile;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; loading luggage onto trolleys or containers;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; driving the dedicated vehicle on the airport runways to the destination plane;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; loading the hold and organizing the storage of luggage to optimize their transfer;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; unloading the holds to transport the luggage either to the connecting aircraft or to return it to its owner;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; arrange the luggage harmoniously on the carpet in the reception hall to make baggage retrieval simple and easy;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; respect the deadlines imposed by the airline to avoid take-off delays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Required qualifications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most important qualities of an airport baggage handler is speed. Being dynamic is essential in this job. Users&#8217; suitcases and bags can&#8217;t wait, because the plane has to take off at a specific time. Late arrivals sometimes check in their belongings at the last minute, which makes the professional&#8217;s task even more complicated.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, he has to be particularly rigorous. There can be no room for error, because sending passengers&#8217; luggage halfway around the world could damage the airline&#8217;s reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Carrying more or less heavy, fragile and bulky suitcases and bags throughout the day also requires excellent physical condition. A good command of English is necessary. Baggage handlers often work staggered hours, including weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n<p>Aircraft construction contracts are still numerous, new airports are being built and the number of passengers is increasing. Whether for business or tourism, it is becoming easier and more accessible to fly. Baggage handlers are essential to the smooth operation of airports.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freddie Mercury, baggage handler?
