What age do you have to be

Question

to become an air hostess and what qualifications do you have to have and what steps do you follow to become one.

any help thanks x

Answer 1

Basically you need to be pretty, tall and polite (for the good airlines) and for the budget ones you need to have a pulse.

Answer 2

First of all I would find a local airport with a company you want to work for. Most airlines recruit employees post 18 but some require you to be 21. Many have height and weight restrictions.

Generally you need four or five A-C GCSE's, a good level of fitness, normal colour vision and good eyesight, the ability to swim at least 25 metres, a smart appearance, a valid passport which allows you to travel anywhere in the world.

Previous customer services work is useful and 1 of the following courses would be useful in increasing your hopes of employment: Edexcel BTEC Level 2 Certificate in Preparation for Air Cabin Crew Service / EMTA Awards Intermediate Level 2 Certificate in Air Cabin Crewing / NCFE Level 2 Certificate in Airline Cabin Crew.

Hope this helps and good luck!
