Ryanair's Corporate Website | Flight Attendant

The Ryanair Group, recognized as Europe’s largest airline group, safely carries over 600,000 guests daily across more than 3,600 flights from over 90 operational bases. The Group is currently expanding its esteemed family of 16,000+ cabin crew members and is seeking enthusiastic, customer-oriented individuals to join its team during the Autumn/Winter recruitment drive.

This is a fast-track opportunity for individuals passionate about safety, service excellence, and travel. No previous aviation experience is required; candidates need only possess exceptional enthusiasm and a strong commitment to teamwork.

The Role of a Cabin Crew Member

The Cabin Crew Member is fundamentally responsible for delivering a top-class safety and customer service experience to all guests flying on board Ryanair Group aircraft. While the role is highly rewarding, it is also demanding, requiring strict adherence to operational schedules where safety remains the number one priority.

This position requires full adaptability to a rigorous shift roster, necessitating operation on both early and late shifts. Crew members must be prepared to report for duty as early as 05:00 on early shifts and may not return home until midnight on afternoon rosters.

Training, Development, and Career Progression

A successful applicant’s journey begins with a comprehensive, 6-week Cabin Crew Training Course. This course is offered free of charge and results in an internationally recognized qualification. The training is intensive, involving regular study and examinations, culminating in Supernumerary flights before the trainee is awarded their official Cabin Crew Wings.

The Ryanair Group is committed to internal promotion. Career opportunities are vast and endless, allowing successful crew members to progress rapidly into leadership roles such as Senior Crew (Number 1), Base Supervisor, Regional Manager, or even aspire to Director of Inflight positions.
