Thank you for watching! What are your thoughts on Riyadh Air? Is it worth it to join their cabin crew team, or do the challenges make you hesitant? Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear your opinions! And don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more exclusive aviation insights! ✈✨
I’m sure they will and faster than in 4 years) I think they will launch operations, and not long after that, they will start hiring people not only with active licenses and experience in other airlines but also those with general customer service experience 😉
After reviewing your different airline explanation my dream airline would be company that flies globally and some freedom base (Dubai) like emirates, the benefits (paycheck) of Riyadh, and the work environment + staff ticket discount of Etihad😂 Every airline has its good and bad, I’m still wondering where to apply but looking forward of how Riyadh airline would go:) Thankyou for your video 😊
To be crystal clear here, only active cabin crew with flying license eligible to apply as for now, other than this don't waste your effort to apply. Other categories pls wait for the turn to come in the future. The online application specifically asking if u are crew with a valid flying license. Former cabin crew here.
Is the salary mentioned for Economy class crew? Also how many years of experience are they looking for? Do they hire Indians because all i see is Korean and Latina crew
Ideally, it’s best if you have an active type rating for the A321 and Boeing 787, as those aircraft are in their fleet.Officially they are only asking for experience with other airlines and an active cabin crew flight license.
It was founded in 2023. They’ve already built and delivered aircraft, hired staff, paid salaries, and spent billions on marketing campaigns. They’ve announced that operations will start in 2025, and I have no reason not to believe them. All of this can be easily verified 🤷♀️
Currently, they are hiring only experienced crew with an active flight license. If you meet the criteria, you can submit your application and wait for a response. If they think you’re a good fit, they will email you with details about the next steps.
Hey do they only hire crews who have experience working with Emirates,Etihad and other middle eastern airlines or do they consider regional airlines from other countries?
They definitely prefer crew from major Middle Eastern airlines, but they might consider people from other airlines as well. It really depends on the airline, the cabin you worked in, and how many years of experience you have. Since it’s not a low-cost airline, I believe they are looking for candidates who are used to working with complex services, like those offered by Emirates or Qatar.
You can check all the open positions on the Riyadh Air careers website. Currently, they are looking for people with airline experience, but make sure to check it regularly for any job opportunities that fit your background)
Other Saudi Arabian airlines don’t serve alcohol on board, and it’s prohibited to serve alcohol on flights to and from Saudi Arabia, even with other airlines. However, I’m curious if they will serve alcohol on board, considering they aim to be a major competitor to the world’s biggest airlines, where elite alcohol is often part of the premium service. Let’s see how it turns out! The airline hasn’t launched yet, so I can’t say for sure 🥰
Hi ! Thank you a lot for your video ! Just amazing ! Do you know if they will allow the beard for men cabin crew please ? And if will they serve alcohol on board or not ?
Thank you) Not sure about beards, but there’s a high chance they won’t allow them, as among all Middle Eastern airlines, only Etihad permits male cabin crew to have beards.

@ thank you so much for your answer ! Yes I agree with you, it doesn’t make sense to not serve alcohol whereas they aim to be one the best airlines. We will see! Ahaha have a good day
@@Elizabeth-i6n If you visit Riyadh Air’s official website, you won’t find anything about height requirements since they are currently only hiring experienced crew. My guess about the height requirement is based on the standards of other airlines, as 150 cm is generally not enough to reach all the stowages on board the aircraft. If you Google ‘Riyadh Air requirements,’ the first response is AI-generated (clearly marked as such), and AI-generated responses are not always reliable since they pull information from across the internet, including unverified sources. The only reliable source for Riyadh Air crew requirements is their official website. Since they are not yet hiring inexperienced crew, they haven’t published the standard requirements (age, height, education, etc.). The requirements mentioned in the video are my assumption, based on those of other Middle East airlines.
@ Maybe some regional airlines with smaller aircraft might hire you. Check the ones in your country. The majority of airlines consider candidates starting from 157 cm due to safety requirements(
I applied and they rejected me :( I have already worked for Emirates, Etihad and Azul. But I speak only English and Portuguese. Maybe they are looking for other nationalities and languages…
Hi, where did you apply for from? And how long did it take for you to get their reply? On the official career website? Because, I have also applied about 2 months ago for this position, but in the official career webpage, it is showing Under Review.
Middle Eastern airlines never specify a maximum age, but in reality, they tend to hire candidates up to 30 years old. However, Riyadh Air is a new airline, and they are looking for experienced crew, cabin supervisors, and pursers. So if you fit that profile, I believe you can be 30+ since it takes many years to reach those positions with other airlines.
It’s not just the years of experience they’re looking at, but mostly which airline you used to work for, your grade there, etc. A minimum of a few years with one of the major Middle Eastern airlines is typically required. However, it’s more about a combination of factors))
Hii, i applied for Riyadh air 5-6 months before but haven't received any reply back. And i am experienced crew. Could please help me in this or make a video on this topic😊
@@mariaantony1664 They give preference to crew with an active GCAA flight license and experience with major, well-known airlines. It’s a good sign that you haven’t received a rejection email, so there’s still a chance they might contact you in the future 😊
The perks and benefits are really top taking into account that most airlines have reduced salaries and allowances after coronavirus, if they pay accommodation the amount of money one can save is really big, do you know if cabin crew have to share apartment?. I wonder also if this airline is also open to hire LGTBQ people as homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is hardly penalized, me as a gay person make me think twice before applying. Thanks for the video ;)
Hey)) Yes, the perks are really nice. Regarding LGBTQ, I’d say you can’t be too open about it and need to be extra cautious, because, as you mentioned, it’s prohibited and penalized in Saudi Arabia. To be honest, it’s also prohibited in the UAE and you can’t join Emirates and say ‘BTW, I’m gay’ during your final interview 😁 But once you’re in the company, no one really cares. I’ve flown with many gay colleagues and have gay friends. Dubai is a more open-minded city, you can’t kiss your partner in public, but no one cares what happens behind closed doors or at private parties. Saudi Arabia, however, isn’t like that. I’m afraid you’d have to be extremely cautious if you decide to join.

This is exactly the detailed breakdown I was looking for! Can't wait to see how Riyadh Air competes with other big players like Emirates and Qatar!
This is their goal, let’s see how it goes 😁
Wow, this is such an exciting opportunity! The perks and salary sound amazing, but I appreciate you highlighting the challenges too.
You are always welcome 😁 Yes, it is a really amazing opportunity if you’re not scared of challenges)
Another amazing video! You always manage to break down complex topics in such an easy to understand way. Love the insider details you share😍
I am trying my best with every video, glad you like it 🥰
I really hope in 4 to 5yrs they'll establish a training school for individuals with no license in aviation. I really can't wait to experience it 😊
I’m sure they will and faster than in 4 years) I think they will launch operations, and not long after that, they will start hiring people not only with active licenses and experience in other airlines but also those with general customer service experience 😉
@JetstreamGinger thank you so much 😊. Really love your content ❤🇬🇭

Hi Dear, can you please tell me what type of License they ask for right now?
A Cabin Crew license provided by an airline company someone worked for
Ideally, it’s best if you have an active type rating for the A321 and Boeing 787, as those aircraft are in their fleet.Officially they are only asking for experience with other airlines and an active cabin crew flight license.
Many thanks 🙏🏾 love your contents ❤️@@JetstreamGinger
@@CleanSweetHomethank you 😊
They have been talking about starting this airline since 2018/19.
It was founded in 2023. They’ve already built and delivered aircraft, hired staff, paid salaries, and spent billions on marketing campaigns. They’ve announced that operations will start in 2025, and I have no reason not to believe them. All of this can be easily verified 🤷♀️
When are the next interviews planned? There is no information on website for the interview dates
Currently, they are hiring only experienced crew with an active flight license. If you meet the criteria, you can submit your application and wait for a response. If they think you’re a good fit, they will email you with details about the next steps.

Does emirates take you if you are within the bmi range but look more curvy? I always see very slim crew
Yes, if you are in a healthy range, should be fine.
Do they provide company accomodation?
Yes
