Flight Attendant (Cabin Crew)

Service

Flight attendants (cabin crew) in India are the frontline safety professionals and hospitality ambassadors of every scheduled commercial flight. IndiGo, Air India, Vistara (merging with Air India), Akasa Air, and SpiceJet hire heavily from tier-2 and metro India, as do foreign carriers — Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, Lufthansa — which actively recruit Indian applicants via annual open days in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru. The entry path requires a DGCA Cabin Crew License, obtained after completing a 6-12 week airline-specific type-rating and safety training program; training institutes like Frankfinn, IATA-authorised AHA, and Sushma Industries provide pre-employment grooming. Age at entry is typically 18-27; airlines enforce height (MinIMum arm-reach ~212 cm for most carriers), BMI, and clear-skin requirements at the time of joining. Cabin crew fly 60-90 block hours per month on domestic/international sectors, operate in a strict FDTL (Flight Duty Time Limitations) framework under DGCA CAR Section 7 Series O Part III, and are responsible for passenger safety briefings, in-flight service, emergency procedures, and crew resource management. Senior crew progress to lead cabin crew, pursers, and cabin managers; international carrier pursers can take home INR equivalent of ₹25-55L annually including tax-free allowances.
