You may sometimes help passengers through immigration and customs or escort passengers who have night flight
connections. You could also specialise in different areas of airport work, such as computer control.

Airports operate long hours, so you would normally work on a shift system.

You would be based behind a check-in desk for the majority of your time. Your employer would provide a
uniform.
