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.

Very many bases, frequent recruitment. Fluent English required (training and everyday life), high frequency of short flights.
