In most countries air cabin crew have to meet certain educational standards and are expected to have a better than working knowledge of English, which is the language of aviation.

Each Airline however will also set their own standards regarding fitness and language requirements.

The cabin attendants are licensed members of the crew and their primary duty is the safety of the passengers. They are also responsible for catering and in-flight service. Each year they will undertake training involving first aid and fire fighting skills, long-haul crews will have to practice their dinghy drills each year.
