Bus/Financial - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Airports, planes, security | | French term or phrase: accompagnateur sur piste | Hi to all.
Currently in Wales, I'm writing my Cv, and I've to find a translation for "accompagnateur sur piste". Actually, my role was to ensure the passengers' security and safety while they were heading to the plane.
I browsed the net, but in vain. Didn't get any matching answer.
Thanks a lot in advance. |

A bit long-winded, but I don't think there is a specific job title in English. I believe it is part of the role of ground staff who also do other things.

Further to Bourth's comment, whether you shorten this to something like "ground usher" or even "airside usher", or whether you keep it long and descriptive, really depends upon whether the job title is then followed by any explanation. If it is a simple list of posts held, then I suggest you use the long form of words. |
