The role of Ramp Agent at Hawaiian Airlines is critical to ensuring the smooth operation of flights by managing baggage and cargo loading and offloading with great care and efficiency. The Ramp Agent is primarily responsible for handling passengers’ baggage, verifying its safe transportation, and maintaining accountability. This role involves physically demanding work conducted outdoors, requiring employees to be durable, attentive to safety protocols, and flexible to varied shifts that include nights, weekends, and holidays. Ramp Agents operate automotive equipment, handle cargo including mail and freight, and assist in keeping aircraft baggage pits and nearby areas clean. They also take on responsibilities related to safety such as the insertion and removal of chocks and safety lines and may occasionally receive and dispatch aircraft when mechanical personnel are unavailable. This position demands teamwork, physical stamina, and a strong awareness of operational and safety standards. The Ramp Agent contributes significantly to the timely arrival and departure of flights, reflecting the airline’s commitment to excellent service and operational scheduling. The hourly wage for this role begins at $16.24, and the position is classified as non-exempt and full-time with union representation. Important aspects include obtaining airport security clearance, USPS mail handling certification, and maintaining a valid driver’s license. Hawaiian Airlines offers comprehensive total rewards including medical, dental, and vision benefits, a generous 401k match, travel privileges, and bonus programs. This role is ideal for candidates who thrive in active, hands-on environments and who align with Hawaiian Airlines’ values of safety, kindness, and performance excellence.
