What is a flight attendant?

Crew members refer to the staff who provide services for passengers.

The career of flight attendants can be divided into four stages: chief flight attendant, cabin flight attendant, regional flight attendant and chief flight attendant. After finishing their studies, ordinary students are ordinary cabin attendants; With the increase of flight hours and the improvement of personal qualifications, you will have the opportunity to become a second mate and a first-class cabin attendant after passing the exam.

After the first-class flight attendant assessment expires, he can serve as a regional flight attendant; An outstanding regional flight attendant can become the chief flight attendant after passing the examination, and can independently lead the class to perform international flights or chief special plane tasks.

Language requirements

In addition to their mother tongue, flight attendants can also speak other languages to cope with tourists from different countries. At present, the most commonly used languages are English, Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

In addition, the recruitment of flight attendants of different nationalities by airlines is also related to their mother tongue or foreign language ability, and flight attendants of different nationalities or language abilities are deployed according to different service routes; For example, AirAsia Japan mainly serves the route between Japan and Taiwan Province Province, and the company also recruits flight attendants from Taiwan Province Province, and requires a certain level of Japanese.

Singapore Airlines has also extensively recruited flight attendants of different nationalities in overseas areas to strengthen on-board passenger service and international competitiveness. Some western airlines, such as United Airlines, Finnair or KLM, also recruit flight attendants from China to enter the China market.
