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.

Tips for applying

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