You are trained to evacuate 180 people in 90 seconds. Serving the drinks is the small part of the job.
Cabin crew are safety professionals first: trained in evacuation, firefighting, first aid and security, with hospitality on top.
Ask a passenger what cabin crew do and they will describe the trolley. Ask a regulator and you will get a different answer: cabin crew exist because someone has to get everyone off a burning aircraft in ninety seconds, in the dark, in smoke, possibly on water.
Every crew member is certified in fire suppression, decompression procedures, first aid, restraint of disruptive passengers and emergency evacuation, and is re-tested annually. The service element is real and matters commercially — but it sits on top of a safety role.
It suits people who are genuinely energised by other people, who can stay warm while exhausted, and who want to see places most of their friends will not.
Pre-flight briefing: the senior crew member quizzes the team on safety equipment and procedures.
Check every piece of emergency equipment on board before boarding begins.
Board and settle passengers, watching for anyone who may need help in an evacuation.
Run the cabin service, then the cabin: medical events, nervous flyers, turbulence management.
Secure the cabin for landing, disembark, and either turn the aircraft around or head to the hotel.
KCSE mean grade C or above, with strong English and Kiswahili.
Usually 18+, a valid passport, and a height/reach requirement so you can operate emergency exits and overhead bins.
6–12 weeks of airline-run training covering safety, service, security and first aid.
Supervised sectors before flying as a full crew member.
Annual safety and emergency procedures re-certification, for your entire career.
Cabin Crew → Senior Cabin Crew → Cabin Manager / Purser. Common onward moves into crew training, recruitment, in-flight service management and ground operations.
Recruitment is cyclical and tracks fleet growth closely. Language skills and previous customer-facing work are the two things that most reliably separate successful applicants.
