who are the people at airports that guide airplanes in to the terminal?

who are the guys with the red sticks on the ground guiding the airplane when it lands to the terminal? what is the proper name for what they do and job title?
What is the name for the job they do other than just ground crew?

If you’re looking for the job title, they’re Ramp Agents. Marshalling airplanes is just 1 of their job duties. Look up Southwest Careers Ramp Agent for more info.

    They’re just ground crew. They park the planes and unload the baggage.

    Typically the people bringing the airplanes in on the tarmac are member of the maintenance crew for whatever airline you are flying. So if you’re interested, I guess the job title is technically Aircraft Maintenance.

    They are called Marshallers’ and the guiding of aircraft for proper parking and positioning is called marshalling
