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.

Tips for applying

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

Prepare for this selection

Read the posting in full before applying: the conditions (minimum age, languages, right to work in the base's country, CCA or equivalent training) are set by the airline and vary from one to another.

The CCA is required to work as cabin crew. Depending on the airline, it is required before applying or issued at the end of the airline's own initial training: the posting says which.

Selection usually has several steps (online application, tests or interview, sometimes a group assessment day). Prepare an up-to-date CV in English, a precise reason for choosing this airline, and practise spoken English and situational exercises.
