Our Jazz Tow Operators are well trained, safety minded men and women who are responsible for positioning aircraft from one point of the airport to another via live taxiways/runways, while maintaining constant radio communications with ATC Ground Control and our Operations Coordinators. In addition, the tow teams operate various airport equipment such as Jet Bridges and Gate Power units to service aircraft.
