You'll have a high level of personal presentation, with excellent communication skills and boundless energy and enthusiasm. You'll be flexible, attentive to customer needs, a great team player with a passion for sales and reaching targets, prepared to work hard, and of course you'll have a great personality.

 

Our flights depart around the clock, seven days a week. For example, you could be required to check in for your flight at 3am one morning and then at 11pm the following evening.

Training

 

Safety on board is your absolute priority and on joining, you'll benefit from one of the best training programmes in the industry and what’s more – you will be paid for the training period.

The course demands a high level of commitment and you should keep your evenings free as homework forms an integral part of your training. With exams in all subjects throughout the course, be prepared to study hard!

 

Once you've passed your initial training, your first flight will be as an 'extra' crew member, assisting the working team on board before you become a full member of the cabin crew team yourself, and your performance will then be regularly assessed during the course of your employment with us.
