What color jersey does a plane handler or tractor driver wear on the flight deck?

On the flight deck, a plane handler or tractor driver typically wears a blue jersey. This color designation is part of the standardized color-coded system used on aircraft carriers and in aviation operations to identify the roles of personnel more easily.

The blue jersey specifically indicates that the individual is responsible for moving aircraft and ensuring their positioning on the flight deck, which is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of aircraft. This ensures that those in the area can quickly identify who is in charge of aircraft handling and ground support, allowing for a more organized and safer working environment during flight operations.

Other jersey colors represent different roles: for instance, yellow is worn by those directing aircraft in flight operations, while red is reserved for ordnance personnel, and green is typically for maintenance crew members. Understanding these color codes helps maintain safety and efficiency on the busy flight deck.
