aeroviário
airline employee


Explanation:
if that is what the guy is, and he is not a pilot, navigator, mechanic, etc. The technical-level or higher-level managerial positions would tend to be given explicitly, leaving general cabin and ground personnel (air "hosts", counter personnel, luggage handlers, supervisors of all kinds, etc.)

I do not believe that there is a direct translation for aeroviário, which was prob born by parallel with ferroviário. (The latter includes engineers and the like.) Something like "aviation support staff" does not do the job.

Explanation:
Profissão de Aeroviário deve- ser ler com , por exemplo: Profissão de ferroviário : aqui ferroviario no sentido de ser empregado de Caminhos de Ferro. De mesma maneira o termo 'Profissão de Aeroviário" significaria empregado de Aeroportos.
