Vashi2Panvel.Com: Navi Mumbai: August 21: A career as an airhostess is one of the most lucrative and desired jobs. Besides the money that you rake in the job also gives you ample opportunity to go round the world. Many private institutes like Frankfinn, AHA, Flying Cats, Indian Aviation Academy have also come up that give teach its aspirants the basics ad beyond. We spoke to Aanchal Dubey, who has completed 6 months training in Passenger Service and Cabin Crew from Indian Aviation Academy to know more about the course.

“What attracts people here is money plus travel opportunities and time-off. The benefits also include reduced travel cost where only taxes have to be paid. Besides, we get medical facilities too.

The course structure mainly includes emergency and first aid training, meals and bar handling training, announcements making, a detailed study on world geography and airport codes along with the regular grooming and evolving sessions. The course structure is such that it helps you to gain complete knowledge about the basic functions on-board and also ground activities. The academies don’t guarantee jobs but they definitely provide assistance. Ultimately it depends on the caliber and talent of the trainee. In my batch most of the students are placed as trainees.

For the aspirers of this course, I would say that there are many opportunities ahead. Anyone who loves traveling and communicating with people, this comes as the best option for them. You are required to have pleasant features and good communication skills to be good in this profession.”
