Whenever I'm waiting in an airport, it amazes me that I'm the only person looking out the windows to see what the ramp crews are up to. People seem to take this work for granted, but without it, nothing else could happen. I've always been fascinated by it.
That time engines start is one of my absolute favorites in a flight. Those low frequency sounds and shaky vibrations tell me that "you're on a mighty machine".
Hat's off... This team is the reason due to which millions of people are reaching their destination safe and sound... Can't thank you guys enough to do one the toughest jobs in the world.
I love your videos. I’ve always been interested in planes and Gatwick airport. It’s really cool to see what actually goes on in the airfield that not many people know.
@@ramperryan if you ever see a ribbon tied to the bags or a cloth, it is something in south Asian culture called kapra shapra which is used to identify who the bag belongs to or to be a luck saver for the journey of the bags to make sure they never get lost or damaged
Really interesting video this is the part of flying that people dont notice but it is very important for a safe journey i have a new found appreciation for what goes on behind the flight now thank you for posting this
I worked landside at Heathrow for 24 years and really miss the airport environment. Loved watching the video and the professional way in which the operation was completed 👍
Awesome video You and Your crew is very well organized, currently Im in the same line of work here in The USA now been doing it for 22 years and I have to say your equipment and facilities are much more updated than our facilities. Nothing is really organized and equipment's are always breaking down flights are always delayed and everything bottom-line is unorganized from the airline itself.
You seem to have a hectic, tough, important but also fun job when the weather is nice! But are you never jealous of the pilots just chillin in their cocpit with their Raybans, having a coctail and talk to pritty stewardesses? GJ and nice video dude!
This has always been a dream of mine to work at an airport but not having to actually fly in a plane. My absolute favourite part of airports is definitely the ground crew doing what they do.
This video was shown to me by someone in a discord server and I'm EXTREMELY hopeful there's more on your channel. This is incredibly interesting and fun.
By our US standards, you broke SOOO many rules. The most important two being you were walking in-front of engines which were running several times, which you never do here, and you also moved way to close to the aircraft by our standards.
Is there a huge cut/jump on the video? or the full turn around only really lasted about 30minutes? Just curious cause that was very fast. Also may I ask if you have a degree in aviation?
Answering for him here, yes, 30 minutes is normal turnaround time, actually a little long, where i work all but the smaller Dash 8 & ATR-72 aircraft have a turnaround of 25 minutes, that goes for 319,320,321 & any 737 variants Though in some cases, for scheduling it can be longer and some of the charter routes might have a bit longer turnaround to facilitate fully loading the aircraft...
As a groundhandler in copenhagen for SAS, please next time when you are disconnecting the GPU, hold the handle, not the cable.. We had accidents in copenhagen where the cable was US and people got power trough their body.. So never the cable but the handle..
@@ramperryan The GPU switches off cuz of it has been taken off the A/C before being shutdown on the button OFF, and there can still be power in the cable.. Be careful also when in rainy weather..
Hello Ryan, how are you? I'm Junio, from Brazil and I really liked your videos because I'm also an airline employee here in Brazil and I'm a Boarding Agent and I've never been able to follow the work of the ramp staff! Congratulations on the videos!
Eventually ramp agents will become a thing of the past like aircraft Marshalling has in some places , the tasks are very repetitive and many people will eventually not want to do any of it the positions will be done by robotics and automatic loading and unloading conveyor belts.
I doubt it massively. Passenger make every flight different and bring all sorts of issues and things to resolve. So youll always have us on the ramp and in the terminal
seems like if i ever gonna make my own custom luggage bag, it's gonna be out of carbon fibre with metal solid frame around it, for convenience of airport workers
Lucky lol we don't have vgds at my airport terminal. And the ground power is directly attached to the jetbridge. How many turns a day do you usually do?
I never understood why so many people hook up the tow bar without the tug. I know the bypass pin disconnects the controls but why take the chance. If it didn't work or more likely someone forgot to place the bypass pin you have pendulum of death
@@ramperryan someone knows Google well xd. Anyway, in my previous life i worked around ramp, so take care and keep up the good work (and uploading videos. Much more videos) ;)
Hello, is there anyone here who worked in Frankfurt at the airport. I have to go in a few days and I don't know what to expect. I should be working on luggage. is it the same as your job or
@@Wavepush i am the connection between the tug and the pilots. I also can see more than the tug can. Also i can speak straight to the pilots without the need of a frequency. Now to answer your question of why not have a radio. Ok how many channels would you need for all the aircraft pushing or waiting too. You cant have them all on the same one. As we pass other information too them aswell.
I cross my fingers every month to avoid british airports. They have the best ATC in world but the slowest ramp workers. I invite you to travel around the world and check that with your eyes
I think it's not racism, Muslims mostly are not very good workers, you always have problems and very closed mind. I worked with too many and all of them are very difficult to work with, they leave work and leave the team short-staffed and always some problem. It is you all who always allege racism, but your actions speak for the majority of you all.
Whenever I'm waiting in an airport, it amazes me that I'm the only person looking out the windows to see what the ramp crews are up to. People seem to take this work for granted, but without it, nothing else could happen. I've always been fascinated by it.

Greetings from Latvian airport ramp worker. You're doing nice and professional job. Keep it up!
Man, so much of multi tasking. You sure know your way around all the equipment
makes you realise how much work goes on behind the scenes to make sure you get to your destination safely and on time

Reminds me when I did ramp work back in the day B4 I became a otr trucker I lost a lot of weight in the Florida heat 😆
Good stuff. New subscriber here.
This is so cool
I should become ground crew one day, this looks alright for a job for me

Looks like you’re understaffed.
Those rear stairs look like a pain in the arse to use😂 the passengers would be all off the front by the time u get them in
You’ll be surprised to know i get them on before the jet bridge goes on most times.
Thats only for the
Cleaners to use.
My dream job...is Anything Aviation ❤❤
for a second I thought you were just going to ignore the FOD at 7:13...
Is that gatwick airport just taking a guess based on the looks of the gate and the massive fuel tanks
Whenever someone climbs into the luggage hold, I just think what if someone locks you in
Is there a huge cut/jump on the video? or the full turn around only really lasted about 30minutes? Just curious cause that was very fast.
Also may I ask if you have a degree in aviation?

That job is physically more demanding than I thought. Respect!
Eventually ramp agents will become a thing of the past like aircraft Marshalling has in some places , the tasks are very repetitive and many people will eventually not want to do any of it the positions will be done by robotics and automatic loading and unloading conveyor belts.
I doubt it will go fully automatic as robots still make mistakes so humans would need to be there just in-case.
I doubt it massively. Passenger make every flight different and bring all sorts of issues and things to resolve. So youll always have us on the ramp and in the terminal
seems like if i ever gonna make my own custom luggage bag, it's gonna be out of carbon fibre with metal solid frame around it, for convenience of airport workers
This all seems very chaotic, obvs you know what you’re doing. What makes you randomly jump from one stand to another.
Lucky lol we don't have vgds at my airport terminal. And the ground power is directly attached to the jetbridge. How many turns a day do you usually do?
Yeah with us its fixed or GPU power. Maybe 7-12 aircraft a day. We have 3 airlines we serve
@@ramperryan which airlines
Norwegian
Norse and tap air Portugal
@@ramperryan nice :D im a ramp agent from norway and serve sas and norwegian
What airport are you
😮
How long do u work and how many planes to do in your shift on average
Depends on a lot of things. I work 12hrs by choice and i may do a around 7-12 aircraft in that shift
So you don't need wing walkers? And your SOPs hook up the tow bar before ground power?
You dont need wing walkers. Just someone to do the road behind the aircraft.
And it can happen anyway. Just tap take ages to turn on the APU
@@ramperryan So what do you call this person that just does the VSR?
@@davidsmiths5471 VSR??
Vehicle service road
@@davidsmiths5471 roadman he will just be a normal ramp agent who will block the traffic when the red becons come on
Are you all hired by the airline or the airport? I always wanted to do this type of work but never had the opportunity
I never understood why so many people hook up the tow bar without the tug. I know the bypass pin disconnects the controls but why take the chance. If it didn't work or more likely someone forgot to place the bypass pin you have pendulum of death
What is that extending metal thing at the start?
You are the head ramp agent ? At my airport the ramp agent are in contact with headset with the pilot. I didn’t know or seen they are also a loader 😃
Different airports do different things. Im not a head ramp agent. Im just a ramp agent
@@ramperryan love these videos man
Which airport is that ? I thought Gatwick in the first place, but there are so many vehicles and stairs with "Norwegian" on the ramp
What do I need for this job? I work in the hospital! ... Can you start immediately? Greatings Dibo!
may I ask waht airport this is because this vidoe peaks my intrest
How do you find this job? Is it great, average, ok, difficult or very hard
just come across your vid always been interested in doing this as a job im only 19 how did u get into this job and any advice
Apply on indeed. If you local to this airport. Dm me on instagram and we can see what we can do
I could never do what a ramp agent does
Where was this recorded?
how can you see in that hold with nae light on ? thats dangous especelly at night
uld on a320...I wish. Would definetly make my job 100% easier.

Do you guys get assigned work to do on the planes, or do you just do whatever task you want?
From what I’ve heard there is a person who assigns each person a different job to do
is the job fun
Id like to do this job but they dont pay enough
