Tips for applying
Within the group, cabin crew recruitment is carried out airline by airline, through vacancies published on the group's careers portal, and requirements differ from one airline to another. The 2026 vacancies for Lufthansa City Airlines (Munich, Frankfurt) and Austrian Airlines (Vienna) both require German and English, from B2 level for the former and with C1 level German for the latter. The City Airlines "with experience" vacancy requires a valid CCA and 12 months' flying experience, whereas the "without experience" vacancy does not mention the CCA among its requirements.
