Unterweisungsnachweis für:
DLH - AKK Lademeister / Agent
bei B 737 / A 319 Abfertigungen

From a training form for a Flugzeugabfertiger at Frankfurt am Main airport.

I take Abfertigungen to de despatches at this point.

I have been looking through the other documents and there is DLH - AKI Lademeister and DE - AKDE Lademeister. That might help to answer this question but I'll ask them separately if I have to.

Explanation:
I am quite sure that "Lademeister" would translate as ramp supervisor.

AKK = Abfertigungskonzept Kont(inental)
AKI = Abfertigungskonzept Interkont
AKDE = Abfertigungskonzept Deutschland

These are guidelines for handling intra-German, continental and intercontinental flights.

DLH = Lufthansa
DE = Condor (DE - AKDE Lademeister = ramp supervisor for Condor flights which are handled according to intra-German handling guidelines)

I think, however, that you don´t need to translate the abbreviations. Of course that depends on what the translation is needed for.

Explanation:
Hello again,

a "Lademeister" ist a "loadmaster", but I don't know what the abbreviation means.

Isn't it sufficient to translate the job titles? I don't think that the client may expect you to find out what all the abbreviations mean without providing any background information.
