Cabin crew career — FAQ

How do I become cabin crew?

Meet the basic requirements (age, arm reach, English), prepare a strong CV and photos, pass the online screening and video interview, then the Assessment Day. The guides below walk through each step in order.

Confident conversational English — most Gulf carriers look for roughly a B1–B2 level, tested through the interview and group exercises. The English guide has a step-by-step plan.

Which airlines do these guides cover?

Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Saudia and other Gulf and international carriers. The process is similar across major airlines, so the skills transfer.
