SAS Scandinavian Airlines

The advert requires candidates to be at least 18 years old (20 for the Norway base), to be between 160 and 190 cm tall without shoes, to speak and write fluent English, to be a strong swimmer, to have completed secondary education and to have two years' experience in a customer-facing role. Candidates must also hold a valid European Union passport, accept irregular working hours (including weekends and public holidays) and comply with the company's grooming and uniform standards.

There are six stages in sequence: application with online assessment, video presentation, assessment centre, security checks, medical examination and tests, and then cabin crew training. All stages must be passed before training begins. SAS runs this recruitment process with its provider AAP Aviation, through portals dedicated to each base, depending on its operational needs.

The advert lists Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo and Bergen. Application links are provided for Copenhagen (male and female cabin crew and stewards), Stockholm and Oslo, but not for Bergen. Candidates must meet the residence and commuting requirements of their chosen base.

Candidates undergo a security interview, a five-year background check, reference checks and must present a clean criminal record. They must obtain medical approval under EASA rules (visual acuity of +/- 0.7 with or without correction) and undergo alcohol and drug testing by blood and urine sample. As the role is located within an airport security zone, approval from the relevant authorities is also required.

Yes: cabin crew experience is an advantage but is not required for all positions. Candidates who are already qualified must hold a valid EASA attestation, a medical certificate and at least one year of continuous experience as Senior Cabin Crew within the last five years.
