Hello Ali,

Airlines usually require air cabin crew to be between five feet two inches and six feet two inches tall, with weight restrictions varying.

You will need to be able to swim well and have a good level of physical fitness. You will need to be over the age of 18 to become a member of air cabin crew. The ability to speak a second language is highly desirable.

Airlines will usually require a good standard of education, including GCSEs (grades A-C) in maths and English, or equivalent qualifications. Previous experience in a customer service role will also be useful.

Vocational courses involving an element of customer service, e.g. travel and tourism, or hospitality and catering, could provide some useful background knowledge. Similarly, apprenticeships in these areas could provide helpful skills.
