With airline staff shortages causing chaos, it’s never been a better time to prepare yourself to apply to be Cabin Crew.

But how can you stand out from the rest?

Aviation unions have been warning of a staff crisis across airlines and airports for a while.

Surging demand for travel, plus a backlog of people processing applications, has led to carnage at UK airports over the past couple of weeks.

So – with airlines desperate for staff, now is a better time than ever to apply to be Cabin Crew.

We’ve all seen images in the news recently of long queues and miserable people clogging airports after cancelled flights.

For those lucky enough to board a plane, Cabin Crew play a crucial role in soothing nerves and ensuring a safe, smooth flight.

The Government was warned

Flight chaos was predicted as early as the start of this year. Government ministers were warned that the airline industry would not be able to cope with high travel demand unless extra help was given to offset ongoing staff shortages.

The minister was directly warned this was inevitable. They have to accept some responsibility.”

The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic caused airlines to sack huge numbers of staff due to travel restrictions. But now those have been lifted, people are desperate to travel – but the infrastructure is no longer in place.

The disruption during one of the busiest travel weeks of the year is sure to set airlines scrambling for staff. Apply for a Cabin Crew position now and you’ll be in a strong position – but so will everyone else.

So with thousands of Cabin Crew applications to sift through, what can YOU do to make sure you stand out from the crowd?

They’ve got such an obvious shortage of staff and clearly were not expecting it to go back to previous levels. They must have thought that Covid would deter most people from travelling again.”
