How to become an air hostess

Career choices are coming of age today and parents are becoming more open about the various career options their children can take up. One of the most popular options today is becoming an air hostess. With many private air lines, both national and international coming into India, requirement for cabin crew staff has increased greatly and the demand is ever increasing. That’s not all; it is an extremely well paying and respectable profession.

So how does one go about becoming an air hostess?

First and foremost, there are a few requirements that the air lines need the candidate to fulfill. A candidate must have a minimum height of 63 inches. This is required because as an air hostess, the candidate will have to help people put things up in the compartments above the seats.

A certain level of fitness is required as there are long travelling hours. Plus they need to help out with the luggage, push the food carts and need to be quick to open the emergency exits when required.

The candidate must be at least 18 years to apply for most air hostess jobs. They need to have passed 12th grade exams at least to become eligible. They must have legal residency proof and a valid passport.

A formal training course helps in the preparation to appear for cabin crew job interviews with airlines. If one gets selected with an international airline then the equivalent of approximately 3 months salary covers the entire investment in the course fee.
