"Entreprise offrant le service de rampe aux différents avions de l’aéroport de *** [au Québec] en effectuant les manipulations de bagages, DECALQUAGE DE L'AVION et signalisation des avions sur les pistes d’atterrissage. Les métiers sont opérateurs / signaleurs."

I actually wonder whether this is a mistake. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

applying decals/tracings to the plane

Explication :
I know what it means, but I'm not confident of the translation. In English we talk about decals for model planes - the sort of transfers you float off in water.

Larousse gives this definition: https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/décalquer/220...

Thx to everyone. I confess that I thought the word should have been dégiclage but went with your suggestion.

Push-back

Explication :
The meaning of "decalquage", applying decals, is completely meaningless here. I'm 100% sure of that.
It's either a typo or a very local term.
This job is a mix between a marshaller and a baggage handler. It has nothing to do with applying decals; the person works around the plane from the time the plane arrives near the gate until it leaves.
Did they mean "deglaçage" de-icing?Normally it's a completely different job.
My best guess would be to push-back the plane from the door?

déglaçage / dégivrage de l'avion deicing of aircrafts

Explication :
décalquage / déglaçage sound and look sufficiently similar to be wrongly assumed by some dictation or typing auto-correct software. And can easily be missed in proofreading.

"décalquage" is certainly a service needed in aviation but here it still sounds "out-of context" - companies tend to offer services that are in some way "of the same group" [same clients / similar profile of staff required/ same frequency ...];

here you have "manipulations de bagages" and "signalisation des avions sur les pistes d’atterrissage" the kind of "ground services" that are needed for almost every single landing / departure;

bundling together a highly specialised service that is needed only once in a blue moon [only few times in the whole life cycle of an airplane] would strike me as a very odd combination (although not totally impossible).

The kind of "ground service" that is likely to be needed very often, especially in Canada, and that sounds more like part of a "full package of [everyday] ground services" is "déglaçage" - deicing of airplanes.

would agree also with "...Les métiers sont opérateurs / signaleurs":

opérateurs de machines de déglaçage / dégivrage
