The Indian airlines sector is going through a growth spurt these days, with the mushrooming of different homegrown airlines. This has resulted in a dearth of flight attendants among all airlines. Previously only a fraction of the Indian youth used to venture into the field of airline hospitality. Nowadays with the job prospects increasing by leaps and bounds more and more candidates are applying for such jobs.

Cabin crew training is provided by numerous institutes throughout the country, apart from training the candidates in the ways of the airlines hospitality business, these institutes have tie ups with various airlines and therefore the placement cells of such institutes provide direct jobs to certain meritorious candidates. With the demand of air hostess increasing day by day, the training institutes are working overtime to cater to this demand, the reason behind this sudden demand is the growth in the low cost carrier industry due to the entry of some new players. The opportunity is ripe for young professionals to make foray into this aviation industry.

The job of an air hostess requires the candidate to have certain qualities apart from being presentable. Although looking good is a part of the job, there are still various other aspects related to this kind of a job. The job of a flight attendant requires commitment and dedication; it begins even before the passenger enters the flight and continues throughout the flight. To fill the criteria of becoming an air hostess a candidate must have certain special abilities, like keeping cool under stressful conditions, a good memory etc to properly fill the job.
