A hundred short-listed candidates will be invited to meet the airline on October 28. Those selected will be offered a three year open-ended contract for the cabin crew positions based in Doha,.

“Working as a flight attendant has nothing in common with a boring nine to five routine. Every day keeps on bringing new experiences – one day you may have breakfast in Paris, the next – supper in Kathmandu or Melbourne. However, next to visiting a lot of exciting places and meeting interesting people, we encourage the applicants to take into consideration that it is a very responsible, safety-oriented and very demanding profession. Such conditions as the chances of Christmas with pilots and cabin crew instead of your family should also be taken into consideration“, said Jurgita Baleviciene, an ex-senior cabin attendant and current Quality Manager and Cabin Crew Training Instructor at Baltic Aviation Academy.

To apply for Qatar Airways cabin crew position, the applicants are invited to email the CVs in English (date of birth has to be mentioned) along with the full length and passport size photographs to cv@balticaa.com before October 19.

Qualities needed for initial assessment include a minimum 12 years of higher education with fluency in written and spoken English, customer service oriented personality and previous airline, customer service, nursing or hospitality experience as an advantage.
