service agent


Explanation:
Passenger service agents typically work directly with a specific airline's passengers to help them complete their travel with a minimum of inconvenience, even when things do not go according to plan. Duties can include assisting ticket agents during busy times, helping passengers with special needs, or helping to locate lost baggage. They also may make announcements over the public address system to advise passengers on when to board or to call standby parties to the ticket counter.
