Hi, thanks for your question.

To apply for a cabin crew role with British Airways, there are a few main requirements. You must be 18 or over at the time of application, fluent in spoken and written English, able to reach 2.01 metres on the vertical arm reach test, and hold a valid passport that allows unrestricted global travel. You’ll also need to meet uniform standards and be able to work a 24/7 shift pattern, which includes early starts, late finishes and time away from home. Full training is provided if you’re successful.

For UK based cabin crew roles, applicants must already have the unrestricted right to live and work in the United Kingdom. British Airways is not able to sponsor visas for these positions, so applications cannot be accepted from outside the UK unless you already hold the right to work here.

You can find more detail on the Cabin Crew FAQ page and stay up to date by registering for job alerts .

I hope that helps 😊
