Cathay Pacific Flight Attendant (London Base)


Join the team that has made Hong Kong's own airline an international leader in the aviation business. We need more talented and committed service minded people who can apply their own special skills to help keep us flying high. A Cathay Pacific Flight Attendant is a very special person: an ambassador, a safety expert, and a care-giver. If you've always dreamed of a high-flying career, here is your chance. Join the team. Share the dream.


Perhaps you are one of the multi-talented people we need to provide passengers with our excellent level of safety, comfort and service. We're looking for individuals with a warm, caring and pleasant personality who can demonstrate empathy in service with people from a variety of cultures and countries. If you are service orientated with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, this could be the job for you. You'll make long-lasting friendships on your way to becoming an important member of our team.


Our intensive training programme covers the technical, safety and service aspects of flying. The practical sessions in an aircraft mock-up will teach you how to think and react quickly, and turn problems into opportunities. In addition, the training will enhance your interpersonal skills and help you to grow as a person.

To become a Flight Attendant with Cathay Pacific:

You must be educated to GCSE standard or equivalent with passes in English and Maths.
You must be entitled to live and work in the United Kingdom.
You must be 18 or above and have a minimum arm reach of 208cm.
You must be physically fit and able to pass a medical assessment.
The job will involve continuous contact with many people who do not speak English and who only speak one of the languages of our major destinations. Therefore, you must be fluent in speaking one of the following: Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, Tagalog or Korean, as well as being able to speak and read English fluently. Fluency in other Chinese dialects will also be considered.
Previous experience in service industry is preferable.
Given legislation controlling access to restricted zones at all UK airports, you will be required to successfully complete a Criminal Record Check at Basic Disclosure level before employment can be offered. This is in addition to references we will also need to obtain from previous employers.
If you have applied within the last 6 months, please do not re-apply.
