Flugbegleiter/Flugbegleiterin

Kabin memurları (Flight Attendants) in Germany are key personnel responsible for ensuring the safety and comfort of passengers during flights. Individuals in this profession ensure that carry-on luggage is safely stowed, and they inform passengers about the flight process, aircraft amenities, and emergency procedures. They are often expected to communicate in multiple languages. During flights, they serve food and beverages and may sell duty-free products. While their work environment is typically onboard an aircraft, they may also be assigned duties in airport buildings and service stations.

Generally, a completed school education such as a secondary school diploma (mittlerer Bildungsabschluss), specific age and height limits, a health suitability certificate, and good foreign language skills, especially English, are expected. Training for this profession is offered as an "Ausbildung" (vocational training) at various educational institutions, and its duration can range from 6 weeks to 3.5 months.
