    They’re just ground crew. They park the planes and unload the baggage.

    Typically the people bringing the airplanes in on the tarmac are member of the maintenance crew for whatever airline you are flying. So if you’re interested, I guess the job title is technically Aircraft Maintenance.

  3. Georgy says:

    They are called Marshallers’ and the guiding of aircraft for proper parking and positioning is called marshalling

  4. Techwing says:

    They are marshallers.

    If you’re looking for the job title, they’re Ramp Agents. Marshalling airplanes is just 1 of their job duties. Look up Southwest Careers Ramp Agent for more info.
