Baltic Aviation Academy on Behalf of Qatar Airways Started Looking for Cabin Crew Members

On behalf of Qatar Airways, Baltic Aviation Academy is looking for cabin crew members. The initial assesment, gathering participants from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, during which 100 finalists will be selected, is to be conducted on the 20th-21st of October, 2012, in Vilnius, Lithuania. 100 selected candidates will be invited to the second round, conducted by the airline on the 28th of October, 2012 in Vilnius. The airline will offer three year open-ended contract for the cabin crew positions based in Doha, State of Qatar.

Qatar Airways‘ cabin crew has been voted "Best in the Middle East" for an unprecedented seven years running in 2009. Being named Skytrax's Airline of the Year for the past two years, retained Skytrax's Five Star ranking since 2004 and awarded as Business Traveler USA's Best Airline for International Travel and Aviation Business' Airline of the Year 2011, the airline currently serves destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Indian subcontinent, Asia Pacific and America with a modern fleet of Airbus and Boeing aircraft. 

“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“, commented 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 [email protected] till the 19th of October 2012. The initial assesment will be conducted on the 20th -21st of October in Vilnius, on the Baltic Aviation Academy premises (Dariaus ir Gireno st. 21). Qualities needed for initial assesment 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. Detailed information on the conditions is provided at www.balticaa.com/cabincrew.

The survey, conducted by Baltic Aviation Academy in 2011, revealed that most popular reasons for choosing the cabin crew position were: opportunity of travelling, dislike of routine and an ability to interact with interesting personalities, including famous football players or a president. 

According to Boeing‘s 2011 Current Market Outlook analysis, a $4 trillion market for new aircraft over the next 20 years is projected with a significant increase in forecasted deliveries. The company’s annual commercial aviation market analysis foresees a market need of 33,500 new passenger airplanes and freighters between 2011 and 2030. The general industry growth will trigger an increase in demand for human resources, required to serve the newly introduced aircrafts. Some 3 to 10 cabin crews are needed to fully serve one new aircraft inducted.
