ground staff

Turf maintenance team

Ground staff are the airport workers who handle everything outside the aircraft itself—loading baggage, directing planes on the tarmac, refueling, de-icing, and marshaling aircraft to gates.

In British usage, ground staff can also mean the workers who maintain sports fields and grounds: The ground staff had the pitch ready despite overnight rain.
