Let me know in the comments below, I’d love to hear your opinions! And don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more exclusive aviation insights! ✈✨

[@КостяРымаренко]

This is exactly the detailed breakdown I was looking for! Can't wait to see how Riyadh Air competes with other big players like Emirates and Qatar!

[@JetstreamGinger]

This is their goal, let’s see how it goes 😁

[@Ukozak]

Wow, this is such an exciting opportunity! The perks and salary sound amazing, but I appreciate you highlighting the challenges too.

[@JetstreamGinger]

You are always welcome 😁 Yes, it is a really amazing opportunity if you’re not scared of challenges)

[@AishaIssaka-rk1cn]

I really hope in 4 to 5yrs they'll establish a training school for individuals with no license in aviation. I really can't wait to experience it 😊

[@JetstreamGinger]

I’m sure they will and faster than in 4 years) I think they will launch operations, and not long after that, they will start hiring people not only with active licenses and experience in other airlines but also those with general customer service experience 😉

[@AishaIssaka-rk1cn]

@JetstreamGinger thank you so much 😊. Really love your content ❤🇬🇭

Another amazing video! You always manage to break down complex topics in such an easy to understand way. Love the insider details you share😍

[@JetstreamGinger]

I am trying my best with every video, glad you like it 🥰

[@lifeisamazing6636]

I agree with you if someone chose to move to Riyad they should remember to respect the rules

[@JetstreamGinger]

Yes, it’s essential to respect the culture and rules of other countries. Not complying with some rules could even lead to jail. That’s why I always say people should check all the rules before moving to a country, especially those they might not be aware of.

[@rommelput]

Thanks for very informative video I want to apply for the post of Vice president operations but no vacancy on riyad air website

[@JetstreamGinger]

They don’t hire top management through their website. They use headhunting for top management positions. If you’re the kind of professional who qualifies to become a Vice President for any department, you wouldn’t be looking for a job, the job would be looking for you 😁

[@GulnozaTursunova-e5q]

I love this company ❤

[@mariannalove3250]

Thank you for the detailed information Dear :) are there CCMs who have started and receive the fulltime amount without flying?

[@hopesilvasilva3313]

CCMs is a license they ask for?

[@CleanSweetHome]

No it means Cabin Crew Member in aviation industry ☺️​@@hopesilvasilva3313

[@e329]

After reviewing your different airline explanation my dream airline would be company that flies globally and some freedom base (Dubai) like emirates, the benefits (paycheck) of Riyadh, and the work environment + staff ticket discount of Etihad😂 Every airline has its good and bad, I’m still wondering where to apply but looking forward of how Riyadh airline would go:) Thankyou for your video 😊

[@JetstreamGinger]

Haha, love it 😁 Sounds like a dream Middle East airline that , unfortunately, doesn’t exist 😅

[@MohammadFadzlyMasood]

To be crystal clear here, only active cabin crew with flying license eligible to apply as for now, other than this don't waste your effort to apply. Other categories pls wait for the turn to come in the future. The online application specifically asking if u are crew with a valid flying license. Former cabin crew here.

[@JetstreamGinger]

I mentioned it many times in this video and even included a screenshot from the official website to show it.

[@hopesilvasilva3313]

Hi Dear, can you please tell me what type of License they ask for right now?

[@CleanSweetHome]

A Cabin Crew license provided by an airline company someone worked for

[@JetstreamGinger]

Ideally, it’s best if you have an active type rating for the A321 and Boeing 787, as those aircraft are in their fleet.Officially they are only asking for experience with other airlines and an active cabin crew flight license.

[@hopesilvasilva3313]

Many thanks 🙏🏾 love your contents ❤️​@@JetstreamGinger

[@hopesilvasilva3313]

​@@CleanSweetHomethank you 😊

[@ericvallejo5751]

You always name “Premium Airlines like Emirates or Qatar” what about Etihad Airways? You do not consider it “Premium”? Just curious! Thanks for the video!!🙏🏼

[@JetstreamGinger]

No, I do. I actually call it the ‘golden trio’ of Middle Eastern airlines 😁 I think it’s just a habit to group Emirates and Qatar together since they’re main competitors. Etihad is slightly smaller, but it’s a prestigious airline with an amazing reputation and is definitely a premium airline. Actually, out of all the Middle Eastern airlines, I like it the most, and I have a video about it, including all the perks, etc 😊 If you’re interested in Etihad, check it out! 😉

[@Cosminngoingplaces]

Im just wondering.. since they are just starting, are they going to recruit everyone for the economy class? I suppose they need cabin supervisors and pursers too, right? Would they offer a direct entry for these positions or perform the upgrades later on?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Yes, so far, there is a direct path to a senior position. You need to have significant experience in a senior role and have worked for one of the leading airlines to qualify for a senior position with Riyadh Air as well. However, once they launch operations, things will likely normalize: starting in economy and waiting to be promoted. That’s why I’m saying now is the best time to join the company 😁

[@ayoubelyahyaoui8251]

Hi ! Thank you a lot for your video ! Just amazing ! Do you know if they will allow the beard for men cabin crew please ? And if will they serve alcohol on board or not ?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Thank you) Not sure about beards, but there’s a high chance they won’t allow them, as among all Middle Eastern airlines, only Etihad permits male cabin crew to have beards. Other Saudi Arabian airlines don’t serve alcohol on board, and it’s prohibited to serve alcohol on flights to and from Saudi Arabia, even with other airlines. However, I’m curious if they will serve alcohol on board, considering they aim to be a major competitor to the world’s biggest airlines, where elite alcohol is often part of the premium service. Let’s see how it turns out! The airline hasn’t launched yet, so I can’t say for sure 🥰

[@ayoubelyahyaoui8251]

@ thank you so much for your answer ! Yes I agree with you, it doesn’t make sense to not serve alcohol whereas they aim to be one the best airlines. We will see! Ahaha have a good day

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@ayoubelyahyaoui8251 thank you, have a great day too 🥰

[@msingh9634]

They have been talking about starting this airline since 2018/19.

[@JetstreamGinger]

It was founded in 2023. They’ve already built and delivered aircraft, hired staff, paid salaries, and spent billions on marketing campaigns. They’ve announced that operations will start in 2025, and I have no reason not to believe them. All of this can be easily verified 🤷‍♀️

[@Arya-n3e3o]

Hey do they only hire crews who have experience working with Emirates,Etihad and other middle eastern airlines or do they consider regional airlines from other countries?

[@JetstreamGinger]

They definitely prefer crew from major Middle Eastern airlines, but they might consider people from other airlines as well. It really depends on the airline, the cabin you worked in, and how many years of experience you have. Since it’s not a low-cost airline, I believe they are looking for candidates who are used to working with complex services, like those offered by Emirates or Qatar.

[@vanshikajain6029]

When are the next interviews planned? There is no information on website for the interview dates

[@JetstreamGinger]

Currently, they are hiring only experienced crew with an active flight license. If you meet the criteria, you can submit your application and wait for a response. If they think you’re a good fit, they will email you with details about the next steps.

[@Arya-n3e3o]

Is the salary mentioned for Economy class crew? Also how many years of experience are they looking for? Do they hire Indians because all i see is Korean and Latina crew

[@ntombihonacele831]

Does emirates take you if you are within the bmi range but look more curvy? I always see very slim crew

[@JetstreamGinger]

Yes, if you are in a healthy range, should be fine.

[@ShanezAbrous]

how about customer service can we apply ?

[@JetstreamGinger]

You can check all the open positions on the Riyadh Air careers website. Currently, they are looking for people with airline experience, but make sure to check it regularly for any job opportunities that fit your background)

[@Arya-n3e3o]

Do they provide company accomodation?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Yes

[@familyporai]

I applied and they rejected me :( I have already worked for Emirates, Etihad and Azul. But I speak only English and Portuguese. Maybe they are looking for other nationalities and languages…

[@JetstreamGinger]

Oh, sorry to hear that(( Sometimes they’re just looking for someone specific at that moment. Don’t be upset, something better is waiting for you 🫶

[@familyporai]

@@JetstreamGingerthank you ❤️ love your content!!

[@importer_uz]

Hi, where did you apply for from? And how long did it take for you to get their reply? On the official career website? Because, I have also applied about 2 months ago for this position, but in the official career webpage, it is showing Under Review.

[@Elizabeth-i6n]

I'm checking in Google but height requirement is 150 cm i noticed I'm so confused

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@Elizabeth-i6n If you visit Riyadh Air’s official website, you won’t find anything about height requirements since they are currently only hiring experienced crew. My guess about the height requirement is based on the standards of other airlines, as 150 cm is generally not enough to reach all the stowages on board the aircraft. If you Google ‘Riyadh Air requirements,’ the first response is AI-generated (clearly marked as such), and AI-generated responses are not always reliable since they pull information from across the internet, including unverified sources. The only reliable source for Riyadh Air crew requirements is their official website. Since they are not yet hiring inexperienced crew, they haven’t published the standard requirements (age, height, education, etc.). The requirements mentioned in the video are my assumption, based on those of other Middle East airlines.

[@Elizabeth-i6n]

@JetstreamGinger ok if my height 154 cm can I become cabin crew

[@JetstreamGinger]

@ Maybe some regional airlines with smaller aircraft might hire you. Check the ones in your country. The majority of airlines consider candidates starting from 157 cm due to safety requirements(

[@souadtelli7216]

Do they have a maximum age requirement?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Middle Eastern airlines never specify a maximum age, but in reality, they tend to hire candidates up to 30 years old. However, Riyadh Air is a new airline, and they are looking for experienced crew, cabin supervisors, and pursers. So if you fit that profile, I believe you can be 30+ since it takes many years to reach those positions with other airlines.

[@ayyz1234]

When you refer to an airline is is an airline, no s

[@JetstreamGinger]

I know the difference between singular and plural words, thank you. Sometimes, when I speak quickly, I might mispronounce them or make grammatical errors. I’m not a native speaker, and even native speakers can make mistakes.

[@jojoleo04]

How many years experience they want as a cc?

[@JetstreamGinger]

It’s not just the years of experience they’re looking at, but mostly which airline you used to work for, your grade there, etc. A minimum of a few years with one of the major Middle Eastern airlines is typically required. However, it’s more about a combination of factors))

[@mariaantony1664]

Hii, i applied for Riyadh air 5-6 months before but haven't received any reply back. And i am experienced crew. Could please help me in this or make a video on this topic😊

[@mariaantony1664]

I have 2+ years of experience with Airindia

[@JetstreamGinger]

@@mariaantony1664 They give preference to crew with an active GCAA flight license and experience with major, well-known airlines. It’s a good sign that you haven’t received a rejection email, so there’s still a chance they might contact you in the future 😊

[@mariaantony1664]

Thank you

[@ayoubelghrabli6271]

they will serve alcohol on board?

[@PrathamAdurkar]

Do they hire male crew ?

[@JetstreamGinger]

Yes, they hire male cabin crew. They even showcased their male cabin crew uniforms during the uniform presentation and marketing campaign.

[@georgelandon1828]

The perks and benefits are really top taking into account that most airlines have reduced salaries and allowances after coronavirus, if they pay accommodation the amount of money one can save is really big, do you know if cabin crew have to share apartment?. I wonder also if this airline is also open to hire LGTBQ people as homosexuality in Saudi Arabia is hardly penalized, me as a gay person make me think twice before applying. Thanks for the video ;)

[@JetstreamGinger]

Hey)) Yes, the perks are really nice. Regarding LGBTQ, I’d say you can’t be too open about it and need to be extra cautious, because, as you mentioned, it’s prohibited and penalized in Saudi Arabia. To be honest, it’s also prohibited in the UAE and you can’t join Emirates and say ‘BTW, I’m gay’ during your final interview 😁 But once you’re in the company, no one really cares. I’ve flown with many gay colleagues and have gay friends. Dubai is a more open-minded city, you can’t kiss your partner in public, but no one cares what happens behind closed doors or at private parties. Saudi Arabia, however, isn’t like that. I’m afraid you’d have to be extremely cautious if you decide to join.

[@JG-zb4mz]

Is she Russian?

[@JetstreamGinger]

No, I’m Ukrainian

[@JG-zb4mz]

@JetstreamGinger but same region, I wasn't far off

[@JetstreamGinger]

@ It’s not the same region. Ukraine’s territory is located entirely in Europe, while most of Russia is situated in the Asian part of the world. Ukraine is an independent country with its own history, language and cultural background. Given the current war, I kindly ask you to avoid using the word “same” when referring to them in any context. It’s a matter of respect for those who are suffering. For me, this is an incredibly sensitive and painful topic.

[@JG-zb4mz]

@@JetstreamGinger Relax, don't get all political. You are from the same culture. I just wanted to find out about your accent. Relax woman.

[@JetstreamGinger]

@ It’s not the same culture and I’m not trying to get political. I said I’m from Ukraine, an independent country with its own culture, language, and background. The Ukrainian language is actually more similar to Polish. If I were from Poland, would you also say it’s the same as Russia? I ask for respect and not to compare them. However, I noticed you’ve used the word “same” again after I specifically asked you not to. So obviously you don’t.
