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. PRE FLIGHT TRAINING COURSE FOR AIRHOSTESS Requirements :

* All course contants & fees structure is subject to change without notice. MEDICAL REQUIREMENT
OTHER REQUIREMENT Smart, talented, intelligent, good smile & good communication skill. 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. F A Qs 1.What is the Eligibility to join this profession? Academic Qualification: 10+2 Physical Standards: Height: 5'3" Eye sight: Normal Age: 18 to 25 years Good communication skills and Aptitude 2.When are the Examinations held?

OTHER REQUIREMENT Must have good communication skill. 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.

Rs.3,000 to Rs.10,000 per month along with other benefits like Medical, Conveyance, Free Air travel, Uniform etc. 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.
