What is typically found on a ramp/apron area?

The ramp or apron area at an airport is designed primarily for the parking and servicing of aircraft and related ground support equipment. This area provides a designated space where aircraft can be parked when they are not in use, which includes locations for loading and unloading passengers and cargo, as well as refueling and maintenance activities.

While there are parking spaces for vehicles and paved surfaces for taxiing aircraft in the vicinity of the ramp area, these do not primarily define what the ramp or apron is used for. The ramp is specifically tailored for the operation and management of aircraft on the ground, making it essential to airport operations.
