Cabin Attendant

IN PRACTICE

Cabin attendants are required by regulation on aircraft with 19 or more passenger seats and are commonly added by choice on heavy and ultra-long-range jets, particularly for international and overnight missions.

What the cabin attendant actually does. The cabin attendant is part of the crew complement that turns a metal tube with seats into a private aviation experience. Responsibilities span pre-flight preparation, safety briefings, in-flight service, cabin management and post-flight reset. Operators and brokers also call it flight attendant, and the terms are used interchangeably on quotes, contracts and dispatch paperwork.

When you should request a dedicated cabin attendant. On heavy and ultra-long-range jets a dedicated cabin attendant is usually standard. On light and midsize jets it is opt-in and adds cost. For long flights, multi-leg trips, group charters and family travel with children, the upgrade is almost always worth it.

How we brief the cabin attendant. We share dietary requirements, cabin temperature preferences, alcohol selection, child-seat needs, accessibility requirements and any cultural or religious considerations directly with the operator's cabin team before departure. Nothing should be a surprise on board.

Cabin attendant and the rest of the crew. The cabin attendant works alongside the captain, first officer and dispatcher. Communication between them is what separates a smooth charter from a stressful one, and it is one of the things our operator vetting specifically looks at.
