Working at the airport

A Frank works at the airport, but not in the air – on the ground. He collects the bags and puts them on the planes when they’re ready to leave. When a plane lands, he takes all the bags off and drives them to the place where the passengers can collect them. ‘It’s a tiring job, but I like driving my truck,’ he says. ‘Sometimes the weather is really bad, but I feel like a part of a big machine.’

B Roger has a very important job. He sits at the front of the plane and controls everything. He always wanted to fly and now he’s doing his dream job. ‘I love flying,’ says Roger. ‘All the passengers rely on me, because sometimes it can be dangerous – for example, there could be an emergency during take-off or landing.’

C Arthur is at the airport a lot. Sometimes you can see him waiting for his bags or waiting to get on a plane or showing his passport as he goes through security. ‘It feels like I’m always catching a plane, going through security checks or collecting my baggage,’ he says. ‘I have to travel all over the world for my job and so I catch a lot of planes.’

D Suzie is Roger’s wife and she sometimes works on the plane that he flies. She wears nice clothes and looks after the passengers on the flight. She serves them drinks and food and smiles all the time. She says it’s a tiring job, but she likes helping people and she likes working with Roger. They are both away from home a lot, but they are together when they work on the same flight.

E Bruce’s job is very important, because he keeps everyone safe. He works at the airport, but he doesn’t fly and he doesn’t work at the information desk. He checks all the passengers, and he helps them through the scanner at security. He is there in any emergency to help everyone.
