Cabin crew recruitment at Ryanair

Conditions stated by the airline

  • Stand approximately between 157 cm (5 ft 2 in) and 188 cm (6 ft 2 in)
  • Be able to swim 25 metres unaided (the advert adds: while providing assistance to another person)
  • Be comfortable speaking and writing in English and pass an English language assessment
  • Hold unlimited right to live and work in the country of the base (EU or United Kingdom depending on the advert) or be free to travel across the Ryanair network
  • No previous cabin crew experience is necessary

Selection steps stated

  1. Application for one of the cabin crew positions
  2. Online English test (some adverts add a situational judgement test; not taking them leads to exclusion before the interview)
  3. Online interview or attendance at a local recruitment day
  4. If successful, invitation to an upcoming training session, followed by contact from the 'ID' and training teams for pre-start information

The general cabin crew page only details the English test; height, swimming and right to work are taken from the adverts per base (Dublin, Malta, Frankfurt-Hahn, Stansted, Lauda Vienna), with no advert for a French base listed as of October 2026, and age is not mentioned anywhere.
