Aviation Training Program
Air Hostess / Flight Purser
Introduction:
Imagine yourself up there in the
azure sky, moving in and out between fleecy white
clouds, watching the vast oceans, the earth and
its people spread out far, far below, like a
relief map, all the while experiencing a sense of
isolation, far away from the madding crowds? Well
that's what an airhostess undergoes as she
undertakes one flight after another during her
highly exciting and challenging career. As the
name suggests, an Airhostess is indeed the
mistress of all she survey in side an aircraft
during flights. Inside the aircraft, she is the
one who seems to be here, there and everywhere,
greeting every passenger with a smile, elegantly
guiding each to his or her seat, generously
helping a passenger get settled, co-ordinating
security personnel, giving directions to the
caterers and doing a myriad things.
In most cases it is the girls who prefer this
career although boys can do the same job as
stewards. Every girl dreams of becoming an
airhostess. Airhostess is very glamorous and
exciting as it includes flying and traveling at
free of cost. However, it should be said that
this is only partially true. The job is nowhere as
easy as it seems. The responsibilities of an
airhostess range from passenger service and safety
to the skillful handling of difficult passengers,
which calls for a lot of PR work.
The work of an Airhostess starts some time before
the flight with the briefing given by the senior
flight attendant. This includes question and
answer sessions that would require you to be very
thorough with safety, take-off and service
procedures. This is followed by a safety check on
the aircraft, where you would have to check the
safety equipment, mikes, life jackets, stocks of
pillows, blankets, books, plates, glasses, napkins
and medicines, etc. as well as the cleanliness.
After the passengers board the flight the job
includes assisting passengers to settle down.
Special care is needed in case of VIPs, children,
handicapped passengers etc. It is also the duty
of an airhostess to explain the safety procedures
and serve the passengers throughout the flight. In
case of an emergency during the flight, you need
to take responsibility and determine the most
appropriate steps to deal with the situation.

CAREER PROSPECTS :
Starting off as an airhostess, you have to take
progressive examinations for promotions and attend
the refresher courses to keep abreast of the
latest technology.
There is every chance that you can then be
promoted to the post of Senior Flight Attendant
and then Head Attendant. Your career as an air
hostess would last for about eight to ten years,
after which you could move on to the ground duties
including the job of a Ground Hostess, Check
Hostess, etc. or diversify into any one of the
other departments in the airline industry.
With privatization and foreign collaboration
increasing every day, the future is bright for an
airhostess. Most airline offices are looking to
increasing their fleet and there is a demand for
airhostesses. While it is a fact that most airline
offices prefer to advertise when they plan to
recruit, candidates may send their resume, along
with a photograph, to airline offices on their own
initiative.

Scope :
Civil Aviation Industry in India has made a
significant progress during the last two decades.
The passenger traffic growth in the Asia Pacific
region and particularly the countries in South
East Asia is expected to be the fastest followed
closely by the South Asian region, especially
India.
With the implementation of liberalization policies
of the Government of India in the recent years,
there has been a tremendous growth in the economy
on all fronts including aviation. There has been a
general shortage of trained and qualified
personnel for the airlines and to meet this
growing need
The decade has marked a tremendous growth in air
travel and space related operations. An increasing
number of aero planes will be required to meet
this tremendous operations. An ever increasing
number of aero planes will be required to meet
this tremendous demand and more aero planes
require an increasing need for aircrews . This
growth, combined with the retirement of thousands
of old aircrews required by the ageing fleet of
aircraft causes a steady shortage for crew members
.

CAREER PROSPECTS
At present, there is a wide gap between the
requirement and availability of technical
personnel and the aviation industry is feeling
constrained. The gap is likely to widen further
with the retirement of old and experienced
technical personnel in the immediate future.
Added to this is the rapid increase in the number
of Aircrafts being operated by both the Public and
Private sector airlines, which is further
demanding more and more AME s. Thus, there is
more than ample scope for a decent, highly
remunerative and exciting job in the glamorous
field of aviation for those who are well trained
in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering.

Q. Can women perform successfully the duel role as
home and at work given the job schedules?
A. Yes. It’s like any other job on the earth, of
course, in the sky. The pilots are posted and
operated from the airports they are attached to.
They have ample free time which can be devoted to
the family.
Q It is believed that the tenure as a Pilot is
limited to very short span of time and one has to
retire from the services at relatively tender age
thus making the rest of his/her life unoccupied.
Is it true?
A. No. It’s a misconception prevails. One can
render his/her services as a pilot as long as
he/she could live up to the standards specified.
Their retirement age is like any other profession
between 58 and 60 years.
Q. How important is the role of an AME in an
Airliner ?
A. It’s like the heart to a human body. Unless and
until the AME nods positive, the voyage is
grounded.
Q. How different is the job from that of
Engineers in other fields of transport?
A. A. It’s different altogether. Every flight has
to be certified prior to take off of all the
sections viz., Airframes, Radio Equipment, radar
system etc., which are equally crucial for a
flight. Any shortcomings in these areas may prove
fatal. Hence, more responsibility lies with AMEs
when compared to other modes of transport.

maintenance and mechanical repair of all the
Indian aircraft to be performed only by certified
engineers and technicians.
